Now that George W. Bush has killed his 1,000th
US citizen in Iraq, does that make him approximately 33% as bad as Osama bin
Laden, who killed about 3,000 people in the WTC? Oh, wait--Bush has killed
thousands more than that, when you factor in all of the
Iraqis he’s killed for the sake
of their liberty.
And does this have anything to do with why Bush all but refuses even to
mention bin Laden’s name in the past half-dozen or so months?

The main difference is that soldiers are asking for it. They are paying for
bad US foreign politics.

Well, that’s the point, isn’t it? Bush deliberately initiated an unjustified
war, and now 1,000+ US soldiers are dead, along with ~12,000 innocent Iraqis. I
agree that soldiers put themselves in harm’s way, but one would hope that they
wouldn’t be pointlessly put at risk as they have been in this case.
Dave!
