That's some kind of demented joke on your part isn't it?

Prove it wrong? The Iraqi death toll(civilian and millitary) is probably over 100,000. Saddam's death toll during his 25 years is probably +/-50% of that number. Both numbers are incredibly sketchy, provide some evidence that makes that statement as ludicrous as you are suggesting it is.
The fact is, neither Bush nor Saddam, were too concerned about the lives of Iraqis. [/b][/quote]
No problem.
Using a left wing propoganda organ, iraqbodycount.net, you come up with a maximum of 13,603 as of this week.

Meanwhile, from a New York Times article:
The chemical attacks on Halabja and Goktapa and perhaps two hundred other villages and towns were only a small part of the cataclysm that Saddam's cousin, the man known as Ali Chemical, arranged for the Kurds. The Kurds say that about two hundred thousand were killed. (Human Rights Watch, which in the early nineties published "Iraq's Crime of Genocide," a definitive study of the attacks, gives a figure of between fifty thousand and a hundred thousand.)

And, as we well know, that's just a start.
Even your own side doesn't agree with you.
Weren't you one of the guys telling us a million or hundreds of thousands would die in Afghanistan if the USA attacked?
Good grief.
Is Mr. Yuck Yuck, Dennis Miller, actually right when he calls Arab civilization, in spite of its history of thousands of years, the most immature and underdeveloped on the planet? Even President Musharaff of Pakistan said the same thing so Miller might have a point.
I wouldn't want to be in a GW Bush commercial either but holy exploding smithereens, these Iraqi soccer players need to get a grip . . . . .
"The problem for the IOC is going to be when Saddam is overthrown and people walk into the Olympic headquarters and see the torture chamber and the blood on the floor," Forrest says. "What will they say then?"
Well, we can see what they're saying now can't we?
