Interestingly enough, Time magazine stated that most worldwide civilian casualties were of those in Iraq alone, a whoppin 48%. Death is all around them, and for what reason? What is Bush really doing there, I cant seem to believe his b/s explanation of 'security'. Many other nations pose a threat to our national security. Osama is still on the loose.

This is a world problem and must be addressed soon.
We play with such fragile things as though they were toys to be played with.
Nature is one of those very fragile things.

Kerrywon and Crespi, you guys are sadists. I bet you live somewhere in nowhere land AKA middle AMerica and voted for Bush twice, right?! Civilians are murdered for no reason. That's like some other power nation bombing and invading the US for Bush's policies. His decisions do NOT reflect the entire country's. ASk yourself, should an entire nation be punished for the sick twisted mind of their governmental leaders? You both need a reality check!

I think crespi was being sarcastic, or sardonic.
