Greeley always says this kind of garbage possibly revealing his own bigotry:
"Iraqi deaths don't count because they look funny and talk funny and have a funny religion. Besides they're Arabs, and we have a score to settle with Arabs ..."

And it's amazing how the liberals always draw the wrong lessons from World War II:
"Don't give me that stuff that the Iraq war is not comparable to World War II. That argument deliberately misses the point that a country is responsible for the deaths it causes because of an unjust war, even if the deaths are numerically small compared to deaths from another war."
Greeley deliberately misses the point that if we took care of Germany in the 30s like Iraq now, 50-60 million lives could possibly have been spared.

And then he considers any disagreement "hate mail":
"And before Catholics write me hate mail ..."

Maybe he should read this excellent, fact filled article about how Saddam was the ATM to Al Qaeda.

Greeley's position is that the moral decision was to leave Saddam in power.
Therein lies his disgrace.

Nor do I think his motivation for that position honorable or honest.

I am merely saying that there is objective sin in the Iraq war, and our country as a country is guilty of sin.

"How many more Iraqis must die for our revenge?" --
Simple answer - as many as it takes to finally get control and establish security and protect the US and the world from terrorists. Not that the Euroweenies or the Liberals get it. My suggestion is that they all get on a plane and go over to the terrorist sites and "bring peace" in their non-violence theory. My bet... they'd be grabbing guns to protect themselves too and non-violence would go right out the door.

"How many more Iraqis must die for our revenge?"

I think we will settle when all the Saddam henchman, terrorists and insundry jihadis are dead and a democratic form of goverment has emerged.

"..the way we punished the Germans after the war."

I get it. Freeing a people from a brutal dictator and rebuilding their country = punishment.

[eclectic]

Useless idiot alert

[Egon]

...Yet if we are able to sustain the number of deaths that have happened as a consequence of the invasion, we will soon have accounted for as many as Saddam Hussein did.

Even if it were true, the very fact that you can make this statement is the reason we went in there. YOU IDIOT!

[Dudesdad]

How many need to die?
That is entirely up to them.

[Unam Sanctam]

I think any moral calculus of the war would have to take into account that Saddam was a murderous tyrannical thug who cruelly butchered his own people. Replacing him with a democratic constitution (and that is the goal toward which we are working) will benefit the people of Iraq greatly. If Andrew Greely had his way, the Iraqi people would still be near-slaves under the thumb of a human rights-violating tyrant today.

The election is over and so we can forget about the Iraq war. It is no longer a political issue and hence matters to no one.

The unspeakable stupidity of this line tells me all I need to know about the rest of the article.

[HankReardon]

America mistakenly tried to stay out of WW II, America was drug kicking and screaming into it. This is similiar. We have been being attacked for many years by these terrorists and finally are on a mission of extermination. What is wrong with this guy? As usual, he suggests no alternative way to destroy the enemy. Is this guy an American?

[wildcatf4f3]

Do we have to set a number? I'm against quotas.

The president exposed further the hypocrisy of the mainstream media with this statement yesterday:

from our president who spotted the hypocrisy of those who don't believe the Iraqi's are entitled to freedom:

"There is a certain attitude in the world, by some, that says that it's a waste of time to try to promote free societies in parts of the world. I've heard that criticism…But if you do not believe people can be free and can self-govern, then all of a sudden the two-state solution in the Middle East becomes a moot point, invalid. If you're willing to condemn a group of people to a system of government that hasn't worked, then you'll never be able to achieve the peace."

Mr...oh wait lets just call him Greeley, not sure hes man enough to be entitled to the MR.
Greeley should watch this, then tell us when his compassion for the death and suffering of people got lost.

Greeley is a big horse's...you know.

He just doesn't get it. If this was revenge then Iraq would be not much more that a few smoking holes with a whole lotta sand. Instead our boys are going house to house to keep casualties down. Doesn't sound like "Jenghis Kahn" to me.

Revenge is vengeance. Freedom is compassion. Think about it Greeley before you open your pie hole next time.

God bless our troops wherever they may be.

[San Jacinto]

How many more Iraqis must die for our revenge?

As for myself, I don't know the answer to that question.

Let's just start with the head choppers and take it from there.

[steve8714]

Who died and made him Pope?
Why does anyone listen to this piece of crap?
He is the perfectly modern secular priest, my guess is he no longer believes in God but keeps the trappings of faith about him.

[Gritty]

Now Iraqi deaths don't count because they look funny and talk funny and have a funny religion

Andrew Greeley has it all mixed up.

It's Liberals who look funny and talk funny and have a funny religion!

[edchambers]

( How many before will we have to kill before we're satisfied with our revenge?)

How many are left? seriously though, this 100,000 number is bogus.#1 it assumes that all Iraqi civilian casualties are"innocent" #2 it's based on surveying Iraqis about how many people they knew who were killed, is it possible that some of them "knew" the same person? or that some may have simply lied about it to make the U.S. look bad?
