i hate this 'WAR' bullshit ~ its so depressing.. =-/. ugh!! i shouldnt even get started on THAT topic..sore..very very sore ~ blah! can't we all just get along.. without killing so many innocent people? :*(.

Unfortunately, I am not exactly sure where one can get reliable statistics on the death tolls for both "sides", but I would be willing to claim that these numbers are likely to be much lower than many major wars before it. Weapon and targeting technologies are much more advanced than even those during Desert Storm. According to reports, the "Coalition Forces" were performing strategic bombing of "Reigme" targets, which should result in minimal civilian casualties. That doesn't make killing right, nothing will. However, the real question is: "Isn't it WRONG to sit on our asses with high-tech military devices collecting dust while people in other countries (like Iraq) are being killed, tortured, and generally oppressed by their own governments? How, then, can we claim that we hold the truths of equality of all persons to be self-evident?"

My only real complaint with the current events is this: "UN = United Nations, Bush. IF you want to be part of it you need to work within that system and agree to obey its decsions. IF you aren't willing to do that then quit fucking around 'trying' to work with them and just declare that you are doing whatever the hell you want/ think you need to. DON'T insult the intelligence of the UN members.... you're just burning more bridges."
