I agree with the statistics. I am just interpreting them differently. And I am more likely to look at the statistic of 500,000 murdered under Saddam (the "government" at the time) and a handful, comparatively speaking, since he was gone - and zero of those by the ruling government (those that are being killed are being killed by terrorist, not the ruling authority. Big difference.

And all the "no electricity" arguments are old. Yes, the country was largely without power after we bombed the crap out of it. But. at least according to the letters from the front that I've seen, that is not a substantial problem now.
What will you say once the civil war takes full effect and another million die ? WILL you still be gung ho for this ?
