WHAT, NO "THANK YOU"?:

‘US caused more deaths in Iraq than Saddam’ (AFP, 24 June 2005)

The World Tribunal on Iraq (WTI), a grouping of NGOs and intellectuals opposed to the war in Iraq, on Friday accused the United States of causing more deaths in Iraq than ousted president Saddam Hussein.

“With two wars and 13 years of criminal sanctions, the United States have been responsible for more deaths in Iraq than Saddam Hussein,” Larry Everest, a journalist, told hundreds of anti-war activists gathered in Istanbul.


Shouldn't George W. Bush, who removed Saddam and the sanctions, be their hero?

Of course he should be, but we know where they're coming from, don't we.

Paging the Lancet.. Beep: "If you are citing unsubtanstiated sources press 1."

At least Lewis Carroll was entertaining.

Weren't those sanctions UN sanctions and not US sanctions? What are these people saying, that we should disobey the Holy Mother United Nations from which all good things spring? Heresy!
Frankly, whenever I hear the word "intellectual" I reach for my Browning.

Get their names and pick them up at the airports for lengthy questioning about their support for terrorist organizations.
