The numbers you cite are small. Look at the US civil war,
WWI, and WWII. Half a million and 2500 may seem like
large numbers to you, but the reality is that they're not.
It makes no sense to argue for "the way things ought to
be" when we're all faced instead with the way things
actually are.
I'm glad the ratio is as it is, I'd hate to have the
reverse.
lifestyle is worth? It must be less than the numbers you
cite. I urge you to move to the middle east and take up
their lifestyle for a few years, then come back and tell
us what you're willing to pay for our liberty and our
lifestyle. Once you have an actual basis for discussing
such issues, our liberty and our lifestyle will be
priceless to you as it is to anyone with half a mind
or better.

STate a problem. You keep contending that Iraq is one. It is
not.
Yeah, I guess 2500 dead American kids, and over half a million dead Iraqis
is just par for the course.

Is there some particular price you think liberty and ourThat, and our country being in debt for almost
9 *trillion* dollars--of which your share is about $29,000--and growing by
half a trillion dollars per year. Our debt is now 3/4 of our GDP. Nice
mess to leave for someone else to clean up.

LOL, of course they have.However, there isn't a single
Democrat running for President in 2008 who is willing to deal
with the reality that we have an enemy capable of destroying
Western civilization and everything that smells of this living
style.
Proof, please. Again, this is your arrogance claiming to know what people
are and are not willing to do. The 2008 campaigns haven't even begun yet.
This sort of disingenuous response is designed to derail theI agree. The crap that this administration started will continue to be a
problem for a very long time. Thus my expression of regret that Bush and
his administration will never have to actually take responsibility for the
crap that they created.
This crap was started, and recognized as a problem, at the beginning
of the 20th century. Historians call it the end of the Ottoman
Empire.
The Ottoman Empire directly caused Bush to decide almost unilaterally to
invade Iraq? Gee, that's funny, even the Republican party hasn't trotted
that out as one of their "excuses".

This is among the most idiotic of your replies of late.At least the rate of increase of the problem will decrease. Yes, we will
still have to deal with terrorists, but that will be easier when we don't
go
out of our way to make the problem worse.
No, the rate will increase logrithmically.
You might want to learn a little bit about what you're saying before typing.
I think you mean "exponentially", since growing as the logarithm of time
doesn't really inspire fear. I thought you said you had a technical
background.
Seems to me she's done a better job of thinking for herselfsnip...I'm getting pooped replying to the same old things
Yes, it is exhausting resisting thinking, isn't it? There are two possible
solutions. Stop replying and keep your paranoid fantasies to yourself, or
start thinking for yourself.
