WASHINGTON — The former head of the U.S.-led effort to rebuild Iraq predicted Wednesday that investigators would find the corpses of as many as 1 million Iraqis executed during Saddam Hussein’s reign.

Those who tend to overlook the bodies in their cry against the Coalition/USA are the same ones who want to rewrite the history of the mid-20ieth-Century to say the Holocaust never happened. They would rather bury their heads in the sand than face the reality that evil people do exist and do commit atrocities.

[Loyal Buckeye]

Yeah, but where are the WMD?

[Yaron]

No they're not.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

A million of their own dead? Who needs WMD's?

[mtbopfuyn]

No, it'll be reported as folks who tripped and fell into a hole while flagging down all those ice cream trucks.

When Muslims are killing Muslims, and its OK with the OTHER Muslims, we should not stop them.When the killing gets to the point that other Muslims want to take action, we should let them take the lead.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

I agree.

And it wasn't okay with other muslims. And Husseins plans extended beyond Iraq's borders, and affected Americans.

Thank God we have George Bush as President and not some pacifist like Clinton, or like those who oppose Bush.

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

some pacifist like Clinton

He would have to be principled to be a pacifist.

[Lysandru]

So who is going to break this news to Howard Dean and his Hollywood Hypocrite Brigade?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Pacifists are principled? That's a new one to me. What principles do they operate on?

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

Pacifists are principled? That's a new one to me. What principles do they operate on?

For one, the principle that no cause is worth going to war over. I disagree with that principle, as I presume you do, but it is a principle nonetheless, and one honestly held by the pacifists.

My main point, though, was that WJC is a man with no principle (except perhaps self-promotion).

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Ok, I see what you meant. Thanks.

[singletrack]

Thing with Muslims is it is OK wih them when they kill each other.Look at the Palistinians, they are left to live in refugee camps. Saudis won't take 'em, same with Jordan and Syria,Kuwait etc. If they are against killing where were they 4 months ago? I'm no pacifist, and I agreed with going in, but lets go home and leave them to genocide and slaughter.We can take out any country in the ME in 2 months average it seems.Why stay?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

I see your point. I don't know why we stay, but protecting Israel might have something to do with it, I'm not sure.
