This is so flawed it is not even worth argument.

Oh yea, everyone should read “The World is Flat” by Friedman (sp?) or buy it on CD and listen to it while driving like I did. I think it would open a lot of eyes on a lot of topics. It’s basically a history of the 21st Century and Globalization, very interesting.

First of all.. Ugh Makes Me So Mad, get on topic. I watched that entire video, it was about the Israel v. Hezbolla war and had nothing to do with Iraq. Yes, people there did say they hate America and blames only America for something that was being perpetrated by the Israelis and if you look into the root of it all was a successful smear campaign by Hezbolla. Follow the events, Hezbolla kidnaps two Israeli soldiers, refuses to release them (an act of war by anyone’s terms), only problem is, Hezbolla isn’t a nation, so Israel is forced to resort to places that are deemed Hezbolla concentrated areas and places where their rockets are coming from. Hezbolla intentionally hides in civilian areas. They don’t care how many of their own civilians die, as long as Israel and the United States comes out looking weaker. The root of all this is in these people’s refusal to give up their outdated practices of a male-autocracy, denying rights to females and foreigners.

To AMERICA!! I hope you’re not serious and you’re just some generally ignorant uber-Patriot who doesn’t know any better. A lot of my friends are those and they are basically good people, I just don’t discuss politics or foreign relations with them and try to discourage them from voting.

Last, to inflective, again, it is people like you who purport the false idea that the American soldiers are indiscriminately killing Iraqis and Afghanis. Again these huge civilian casualties are the combination of civilians killed by collateral damage, civilians killed by other Iraqi civilians,and Iraqi insurgents (who are civilians themselves) being killed by Americans. To actually believe that coalition forces are willfully committing genocide then you’re crazy and woefully uninformed. Also, this war was voted on and is supported by Congress, soo yea, not illegal.

Lastly, as one of the above posters said, I am a moderate, though slightly more on the conservative side only because they want to see this war out. Everyone, both right and left has a duty to themselves and this country if they are to have an opinion on its doings both globally and domestically to be informed. If you don’t know exactly where Iraq is, don’t be ashamed and hide it, go look it up. If you don’t know what Hezbolla is and want to find out their past, look it up in a book (I would say internet, but you’d have to go to a reputable source, there’s too much lies and bias on much of the internet). Please stay informed as best you can and make your best rational decision based on what you know.

BTW, was at the Yankees/Virginia Tech game yesterday. It was a great gesture by the Yankees and touching, we’re still thinking about all the victims and those hurt by the tragedy. Final Score: Yankees 11- VT- 0.. what did you expect?

Americans can rant all they want but there are thousands and thousands of dead innocents in Iraq and Afghanistan and I would assume that some of their relatives will come looking for payback eventually, when they do the rest of the world will not shed any tears for you we did on 9/11 you really deserve everything that happens to you.

I’m really ashamed of the role the UK played in all this, lets not forget that the UK followed the USA every step of the way, illegal wars, torture, genocide and throwing the lives of so many people away ours included.

Our leaders need to be tried for war crimes and we should leave whats left of Iraq as soon as possible.

Nice graph, but perhaps it should have been in 24-bit color. The dithering is a bit too obvious.

How about putting it into context? Who actually killed those civilians? Once you have those numbers, stack the number killed by non-coalition forces on top of the 911 victims on your little chart, and you will have a VERY different perspective – you can label the new chart ‘reality check’.
