I can empathize with Mr. ex-Navy. There's no reasoning with people like
Ms.
Kneisler because they lack logic and reason. It's like trying to debate
with a 2 year old. However, you don't get angry with the two year old,
because he/she doesn't know any better. A grown woman like Ms.
Kneisler
should know better...and that's where the frustration sets in.

She probably does, but it is all politics......11,000 deaths, as she
cites,
would equal between 88 and 158 days of deaths of innocents that Hussein
averaged. (depnding on whois doing the count) In reality, the US, in the
last year, has saved up to 35,000 in the last year

much snipage

Hmmm,

I think your numbers may not tell the whole story.

How much of the Saddam death toll is the folks we left twist in the wind
after they thought we would support them in thier uprising?

We should have supported them. However I would love for you to
explain the logic used to transfer blame from Saddam to the U.S. for
the thing he did.

Further, how many Iraqi deaths were due to fallout from the brutal embargo?

Who made the emabargo so brutal? Not the U.S. There was more than
enough money going into Iraq to keep everyone sustained. That money
was going through a UNITED NATIONS operated program. Saddam lived
large off that money - and it appears that official from other
countries also engaged in personally profiting from that program.
