Id like to se a poll on how the Iraqis view the US after they caused the death of 500000 Iraqi civillians.
I don't want to see any polls done by you, as you seem to have trouble with numbers...
Have you even heard about the study done by two professors and two PhD holders at the most prestigious medical school in the world, John's Hopkins? It's called Mortality after the 2003 invasion of Iraq: a cross-sectional cluster sample survey. If you attend a university you may have access to the text as part of your tuition. Take advantage of it. Please.
I'm tired of ignorant people who like to open their mouths. I know I have no right to preach infront of a 20,000 member megachurch in the midwest USA. Unlikewise tons of people who obviously don't keep themselves informed very much like to tell us how to run the nation. Or who should be president. George Bush isn't Jesus on Earth, sorry, that's an millenia (4000+) old idea which goes by the name Heaven's Mandate. It's just a cute idea neocons have used to make money.
If you average it out, that's about 20 Virginia-Tech-sized body counts a day, every single day. Was I mad when a man ultimately responsible for these deaths came to grieve with us? Yes. Was I very very sad when I heard students at a Baghdad university sent their condolences? Yes.
This post is only political if there is a side that thinks the war needs to go on. And sadly, because there is, things like this will need to be said.

In keeping with the spirit of the topic, check out Future Weapons, a show on Discovery Channel. My fav weapon is the Excalibur, found under weapon zone 1 (season 1). But they're all interesting, especially the thermobaric charge. The episodes are on torrents. I think the OP will love it.

The terrorists are responsible for the majority of the deaths...
It's a fact people like you seem to continually ignore...
Read the survey. These huge increases in death wouldn't have happened if the Sunnis kept their minority rule. As I paraphrase Steven Colbert, 'we have removed the man who keeps **** like this from happening'. The man who keeps the relative peace. And we have done so without having a plan ready to route the bloodfest we all know would ensue. Lesser of two evils, I'd say it'd be okay to let ****** Hussien stay as dictator. Yes, he's done horrible things, and probably will continue his torture and *****programs. But at the expense of 650k deaths of civilians who are not are own? I'd like to know your reasoning why you think the contrary.

Seriously Vari, your getting DM all riled up. Keep it up and I'll pass onto the mods that your flamebaiting.
A little 'flamebaiting', a little thread locking, and dare I say, even a little forum-banning if the Moderators decide it is the appropriate punishment, is worth it to correct the, what I see as 'mass delusions' that has caused the deaths of many many people.
