Whose War is it, Anyway?


The American Way of Life is non-negotiable" -- President George Bush (Sr.) at the Earth Summit on the Environment (Rio de Janiero, 1992)

How many terrorist attacks has the US actually had on its soil? One. In all its history, ONE. How many Iraqis die because of the US 'war on terror'? 655,000. How many Iraqi troops? 30,000. How many U.S soldiers? 3,123. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHOSE WAR IS THIS, ANYWAY?
And for Afghanistan, (yeah, remember that country?) I can't even find a reliable estimate. If someone out there has one I'll be very glad if you sent it in.
Is this the most-underreported story of 2006? What do you think?
