   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?

So, by your “logic”, was FDR 135 times worse than OBL? Or were you merely trolling? :-)

Did FDR initiate an unprovoked attack upon a sovereign nation?

Did the Nazis ever attack US soil?

   If so, was he inspired to do so because of decades of biased and unbalanced foreign policy,

What about the aftermath of WWI in terms of policies towards Germany as an major instigator of WWII?

   which itself came on the heels of imperialist efforts to usurp the natural resources of the US?

Can’t parse. “For” the US perhaps?

   It’s not just a matter of body counts

lol seems like that we exactly what you were driving at in your initial post, Dave!! That is why I tweaked you with a response!

   --the justification for FDR’s actions differed mightily from OBL’s.

Of course! There was no justification for OBL’s action!

   GWB’s choice to invade and bomb a sovereign nation that hadn’t attacked the US or its allies more closely resembles OBL’s choice to bomb the WTC than it resembles FDR’s decision to enter WWII.

How outrageous! Bush’s intervention in Iraq was all about deposing SH’s cruel and dangerous regime-- nothing more! Why are we still meeting resistance in Iraq? All we want to do is help the Iraqis set up a government that insures freedom for her people and leave! What is wrong with that???? We attacked to remove SH’s regime-- that regime is history! So why is there still fighting? Because of Islamic Fascists who don’t want Freedom! They want pukes like SH in power around the world who are sympathetic to their cause who will assist them in their fight against the West.

Bush is brilliant for taking this fight to Islamo-Fascists now before the stakes got too high. Why must we wait for a nuclear bomb to be denotated on our soil before everyone gets the message??? The only way to stop these wackjobs is for all nations to unite to purge them from their respective soils. Some need assistance to do so, but it is imperative that these scumbags find no place to hide and organize! Then we can go about the business of hunting them down one by one and exterminating them like the vermin they are.

(...) John, if this cause justifies the loss in human life, how much more loss would it justify?

(...) Unless you mean Prescott Bush begetting George HW Bush begetting George W Bush, then I don't think that Nazis did attack US soil.
