 Over 14300 people died in Iraq in first 6 monts this year !!!  over 6000 in last 2 months, over 200 last 2 days !!,
 

Watching the blood in  those fotos, i was thinking: ,
Why did America, the most advanced nation, start  this nonsense slaughter,  Why don't take more  responsability to try to stop it?
  Why goes on and on ??!  or  is this  last "Divide et impera" tactic tried in Iraq?!

Is there something about someone concerned about civillian deaths, noting it, that strikes you as automatically lockable?

It's not pro-Bush?

No, just the strong stink of a troll I guess.

Oh?

Let me in on your thought process...

War rages, civillians die. Someone notes it.

That constitutes a troll....... how?

Please - I want to understand.

"Divide and rule" is just expressing concern about civilian deaths?

You have a question about his question?

No worries.

But his question doesn't beg some Prima facie response... lest the thread be locked.

It begs an answer. Do you have one?

That is horrible news, and I do wish it weren’t happening. And although I will be accused of being an uncaring warmongering Bush supporter for my next statement I only add it to give perspective

There is good news in the world also I just read in an article that the murder rate in the City of Rio de Janeiro fell to only 31,390 last year so never give up hope.

Better make it the rest of the week Nash more good news, things are really looking up. Got this next quote from the Documental Centre for human rights in Iraq

"Coldly taken as a daily average for the 24 years of Saddam's reign, these numbers give us a horrifying picture of between 70 and 125 civilian deaths per day for every one of Saddam's 8,000-odd days in power"

Edit just did the math to save you the trouble thats 25,550-45,625 per year

I'm exposed to all kinds of accountant-speak..... but I've never heard it said:

"Coldly taken as a daily average..."

And I have no idea what this means:

"Coldly taken as a daily average for the 24 years of Saddam's reign, these numbers give us a horrifying picture of between 70 and 125 civilian deaths per day for every one of Saddam's 8,000-odd days in power"

...and since you're quoting something here, mind if you give me your source?
