Historical and economical facts for the Liberals.

320 is the total deaths, right? Including the ones who shoot themselves in their own sleeping bags and accidents in general, not just those killed in combat? I think the actual combat deaths is 70-something for Iraq and Afghanistan is less.

Liberal California has more deaths per day than Iraq. Maybe they should remove the plank from their own eye first before condemning Bush, aye?

If you are trying to prove a point with "historical Facts", and you blow some of the very basic issues - end of war (wrong date). Not to mention the fact that WWII really started in 1939, not December, 1941 - check with the Poles, Russians, French & Chinese. These countries carried the load until the US got dragged into the conflict.

When your facts are incorrect - how can your analysis & teaching be any good?

[bluester]

Yes I believe it was illegitimate.

[bluester]

I agree. The Serbs in the end got rid of Milosevic themselves through elections without foreign assistance. Bombing civilian infrastructure, bridges does not bring democracy or punishment for war criminals....

[bluester]

Afghanistan, yes because of the Taliban (Bin Laden) and for Sept/11, as for Somalia I couldn't really judge. But for Iraq, i have no hesitation calling it what it is....

The Japnese attacked us on December 7th 1941 because they want to establish their empire in the Pacific and they do not want us there. On Spetember 11th 2001, the terrorists attacked us because they do not want us to exist on the face of the planet. The war on terror that includes Iraq and the whole of the Middleast is very ligtimite. We are fighting for our way of life this time.

For us the real war started on December 7th 1941 when the Japanese attacked us in Pearl Harbor. Before that we were helping supplying the British with arms so they can resist Hitler and by our help they did not fall to Hitler. In regards to the French, they were cowards as usual and they did not fight but rather they surrendered on May 1940. The Chinese did nothing to stop the Japanese since they invaded Manchuria in 1931. Poland was the first country to fall in Europe under Nazi Germany in September 1939 and it took the Germans only three weeks to invade it. Stalin and Hitler were allies then and they split Poland between them. The Russian front started in June 22 1941 and not in 1939, when Hitler launched operation Barbarossa. It was our huge arms donations to the Russian that contributed greatly in their victory on the Eastern Front. For your own information the United States gave the Soviet Union over 15000 tanks from 1941 to 1945.

You need to read my liberal friend or you may need to watch the History channel. I know that my statistics really upset you because they are very true and you liberals cannot handle facts and truth. Go get some education in history.

What does Iraq have to do with Sept/11,terroris, Bin Laden and Al Qaida, except for the fact that Bin Laden hated Saddam and his secular regime and the fact that Iraq was far from the religious fanatism of Saudi Arabia and some other states?
