This number doesn’t even approach a 100th of the innocent children and women in Saddam’s mass graves!

On the other hand, all those dead are now registered democrats.

"If you disagree with this war," she added, "it is your duty to stand up and let the world know."

Or in this case, lay down and play dead. Idiots.

Like, wow, dude...

If onlookers said at least 10,000, then there had to be 2,000 people there. That’s how it works with protest numbers math. Either way, Big Fat Hairy Deal.

I wonder if any of these fools would be willing to take the place of the now free Iraqis should the likes of another Hussein cut the throat of Iraq’s emerging liberation.

No they wouldn’t. They’d rather play dead on the streets of a beautiful day in SF in effect protesting the free men, women, and children of Iraq.

> a symbolic “die-in” as part of a protest staged in cities across the country against the war in Iraq.

Why symbolic? Why not really die like those buddist monks that died by fire in Vietnam?

No balls? No real conviction? What?

A million Iraqi dead? Why stop there?
Why not make up 10 million dead? That would be 10 times as powerful, right?

Maybe they should put a steel cage around them and leave them there. That’s what they are going to get if they elect Hillary.

Saddam Hussein

Full name Saddam Hussein al-Majid al-Tikriti. AKA ‘Great Uncle’, AKA ‘Lion of Babylon’, AKA ‘Lion of Iraq’, AKA ‘Beast of Baghdad’. Saddam translates to ‘One Who Confronts’.

Country: Iraq.

Kill tally: Approaching two million, including between 150,000 and 340,000 Iraqi and between 450,000 and 730,000 Iranian combatants killed during the Iran-Iraq War. An estimated 1,000 Kuwaiti nationals killed following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. No conclusive figures for the number of Iraqis killed during the Gulf War, with estimates varying from as few as 1,500 to as many as 200,000. Over 100,000 Kurds killed or “disappeared”. No reliable figures for the number of Iraqi dissidents and Shia Muslims killed during Hussein’s reign, though estimates put the figure between 60,000 and 150,000. (Mass graves discovered following the US occupation of Iraq in 2003 suggest that the total combined figure for Kurds, Shias and dissidents killed could be as high as 300,000). Approximately 500,000 Iraqi children dead because of international trade sanctions introduced following the Gulf War.
