A rant - The War on Terror

I had this thought the other day.

So, the other day I realized more people died in one month in Iraq (3000 innocent souls) than everyone who died during 9/11. So why continue the fight? Retribution?

How can anyone justify the war going on over there? All up estimates range between 30,000 and 300,000 total deaths due to the occupation. There is even the possibility of 1 mill deaths due to American forces. Woah, crazy numbers.

And guess what? Saddam Hussein is guilty of killing... wait for it.... 143 people. And he's going to the gallows. (Please note: all figures I got from Wiki, so I was able to change them to suit my arguement (that was a joke.))

And what happened to bringing liberty, democracy, etc and other such wonderful western concepts?

So just as "the War on Terrorism" (war on a process) became "the War on Terror" (war on an etheral concept or state of being), the administration is no longer bringing such concepts as "democracy" to Iraq, just "stability and self governance".

Funny, there was probably alot of that "stability and self governance" crap going around in Iraq before the US came in and crapped everywhere....

Here endth my leftist rant....
