No, you've already demonstrated that you don't give a damn about Iraqi civilian deaths by your support of Saddam.

There it is again. The foolish statement that if you didn't want to go to war with Iraq, you must be a lover of Saddam. That is ridiculous. I suppose that if I don't want to go to war with Cuba, since it is not a threat to us, I must love Castro. Stop and think a minute and you will see how silly that statement is.

We have no business risking our soldiers lives fighting against a nation that is not a threat to us. Their internal problems are their own. Of course, if you want to help the poor people there, you are welcome to volunteer. Did you go to help the Tutsis in Ruanda in 1994? Did you think that our government should have? They were ultimately saved by their brethren from neighboring countries.

No, you were the one griping about the civilian deaths in post 119. I pointed out that because of the war we have prevented countless civilian deaths. You can't have it both ways. You can't complain about the war based on civilian deaths, and then jump me for pointing out that the number of civilian deaths is miniscule compared to what would have happened if we'd left Saddam in power.
