more people probably died of violence in pa last year than in all of iraq.
OK, the total for murder and non-negligent homicide in PA in 2005 was roughly 640.
In comparison, for 2005 (in Iraq)
897 US military and coalition casualties
310 contractor casualties
2822 Iraqi police/military casualties
6434 Iraqi civilians
for a grand total of......
10463
Even in the 'new' math that's more than 640.

My post about AML was in jest not because I HATE facts. I agree with facts; I agree with AML. You just always assume I am being difficult.

AML did what any republican would have done with the idiot who claimed more people died in PA. How can you raise this guy up like a hero, he is an absolute tool.

So it's worse for fewer people to die in war with another nation than it is for punks to shoot each other at home? I would think you should expect higher casualties in a war than in your backyard.

actually, i seriously couldn't tell what you were getting at. sorry if you took it wrong. not uncommon as most of my posts tend to have a sardonic air to them.

I think any response that starts with the word "hello" implies a "wake up" message that I found to be rude.
If you found "hello" rude, I apologize. If you really did, you might want to avoid political or religious discussions on BOL. The talk can be tough.
Let's agree on some ground rules folks. Does everyone agree that no one needs to apologize for something as mild as saying "hello" in a political discussion?
I didn't ask for your apology. I expressed my feeling as a question instead of telling you I thought it was uncalled for.
Please don't you two start this again. IMHO if you thought hello was rude you need to go to a nonpolitical thread. Look around you. We are not the most sensitive bunch.

why won't you respond to my posts that properly frame the issue? the issue is the reasons and prosecution of the war behind the casualties not just expectations of casualties in a war in general.

New rules. Posters here think "hello" is rude. They'll cry if you use the word "idiot." You must be more sensitive to everyone's feelings.

seriously, let's drop the semantics here. it is SO boring. can't we at least stick to substantive stuff like arguing the merits and prosecution of the war or are you other anons incapable?

You haven't posted anything that properly frames the issue, that's why. The reason for going to war was twofold. First, we suspected (based on intelligence we now know was faulty) that Saddam was hiding chemical weapons. Secondly, we wanted to liberate the Iraqi people from Saddam's regime. We wanted to prevent further genocide by his regime. We wanted to promote democracy in the middle east. Both reasons are perfectly valid reasons to go to war. Once we had won the initial battle and overthrown the regime, we discovered that our primary reason for prosecuting the war was indeed based on incorrect information. It happens to the best of us. We make mistakes. Noone has EVER denied that the intelligence we had that said Iraq did indeed have WMD was incorrect.
The war continues, just as the war on terror continues. Guess what, if we pulled out, the killing would continue. It might even come to our own soil.

Even in the 'new' math that's more than 640.
Woops your number of violent deaths in Pennsylvania last year is a bit off. There were over 35,000 violent attacks that resulted in a death in Pennsylvania last year.
