Thanks, but.

I think 175,000 deaths resulting from Saddam's removal is a tad on the conservative side of estimates.

According to Iraq body count?

If one follows the news, there's hardly a day that goes by without yet another violent incident killing dozens, hundreds even. I remember having a discussion on fearbush of old, right before the whole madness started. There was a guy there, calling himself smokey. Ted Nugent type. Always ready to send others to their doom, but sadly, too sick to serve in Vietnam. I remember him saying that it would be easy in, and I was asking him if it would be easy out too. To which he got no answer. Turns out, there never was an answer. Only a few western politicians stroking their dicks over removing one evil dictator. Over the bodies of hundreds of thousands.
