    It's not that he enjoys people dying (I think). Its just that smug sense of satisfaction he gets when things go badly for Blair or Bush, unhampered by the fact that good people are dying.

    No, it is the sheer sadness that people over there are dying for a war which everyone who opposed it, stated would turn out this way. Depressed in the knowledge that everyday we are there more innocents die and the terrorism situation gets worse for them and us.

    Quite amazing that you believe I like the thought of Iraqis dying, when it is by your principles and backing that they are dying, if you heeded those who opposed the wars advice, thousands upon thousands of innocent Iraqis would be alive and terrorism would not be emboldened.

    I also think I am one of the most consistent advocates of not killing people, thank you very much. Remember the 'enjoying killing people' crap when you try and enlarge your penis' in the gun threads.

    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    But you seem to think its much worse to die fighting for freedom than because you said something bad about your fearless leader. Or at best your attitude is dead is dead . It doesnt matter how . That is unless we did the killing. Then its bad no matter what.

    Any chance I could get a taste of whatever it was that gave you the wonderful gift of foresight? And remember, had I heeded the advice of those who opposed the war, we would be giving more money into the ‘Oil for Food Program’ that Saddam (and Koffi?) loved to death, and trying to beg and plead with Saddam (and Gaddafi Duck mind you) about playing nice.

    But of course, the what, 60,000 dead children per year would have happened? Let me see now, even if your hardly unbiased group claims 25,000, last time I checked 120,000+ is more than 25,000.

    Terrorism was emboldened by our actions huh…seems to me it is still about the same. I wonder (if you could enlighten me you Grace of course) if you could tell me how many attacks would have occurred without the invasion of Iraq. Zero? Maybe. 10? Possibly. But can you be sure?

    I am just curious your Grace, if you would also be kind enough to inform all us ignorant conservatives what your plan on how to deal with Saddam was. Since you abhor innocent deaths, than certainly you had to have something in the works to relieve the poor oppressed Iraqis of the tyranny. Especially on the magnitude people who died under him.

    Supporters of the war always seem to jump on that old "We've removed a cruel despot" bandwagon. It became more convenient to label Saddam a monster when the publicised justification for the war fell through.

    Yeah, he was a mongrel, but let's not fool ourselves... If the West was truly concerned about the poor oppressed masses, they would have done something long ago when he was happily gassing 300,000 Kurds...

    Would they? Seems to me we were hamstrung by a President too busy getting...well...you know (I'll not write it here for the children). And God knows the rest of the western world can't get off its sorry ass and help anything without the US leading. Germany has been emasculated, France...well...is still France afterall, and Britain is just too darned small.

    Oh yes, by the way, good afternoon Roark

    Edit (Okay so I feel bad for my ADD and keep upping my post count): Now then...if we were so wrong to support the war...what is your justification for opposing it? People are dying? Methinks we can all agree more died during Saddam's hold than have recently. More white people are dying? Seems to me that is true, but foul. I'm just curious.
