Yes, just yesterday two of my countrymen were shot in this "safer" Iraq.

Compare to the previous situation. They were averaging about _fifty_
times that, for the last twenty years or so.

Not to claim that Saddam didn't get lot of people killed, but above is just
silly.

Hell, the Hussein regime killed more Kurds in one *day* than there have
been Iraqis, American, Brits, and others killed in this entire *war*.

Let it be absolutely clear that this most recent war killed LOT more than
5000 people. But hey, lets not get the facts on the way of a good rant.
