No denial nor apology needed - especially to you. I thought this was a worthwhile thread to exchange ideas, philosophical thoughts and opinions. A place where those with differing points of view could maturely discuss and debate them. It actually was - till you started posting tw. You and your "I am RIGHT-eous and you are wrong" attitude. There are a lot of descriptive phrases for people like you - one of which is "threadkiller" and another of which is pompous ass. Then again, I am sure that you've heard the latter in some form many times already. |

Wrath? Oooowww, can I have some too?
Yesman, I understood your point. And yes, even with Dana's numbers, the dead in Iraq aren't humongous in the grand scheme of the Universe. Nor do they surpass the million(s) of deaths Saddam caused, directly and indirectly. That said, my position is we have no business being there, so we shouldn't be causing any deaths at all. We shouldn't be wasting our resources, including soldiers, international good will and our grandchildren's wealth, in the middle east.

Peer review says the second Lancet study is bogus as hell and probably even fraud
This is the first time I've mentioned the second Lancet study. I thought it was very obviously bullshit, but it's good to see the status of the Emperor's clothes is finally covered in major media. I pat myself on the back, as they ask the same question I did on day one. Quote:

"a Democrat seat"? I guess the Times is a Murdoch paper (checks- Yup).
Not that that has anything to do with the validity of the study, but it's funny.

I would not expect that the Times' British readership is aware of US partisan code-speak.

I had no idea it was officially the Democratic Party. We have a Liberal Democrat Party and I just assumed it was along the same lines. But aren't party adherents called Democrats? Meaning that the seat would be a Democrat seat? Learn something new every day I guess. Like the fact we call the Conservatives "Tories" when they haven't officially been called that for about 200 years.

It's not horrible when it happens in the US, let alone the UK or anywhere else. It's just annoying and petty, and deliberately so. It was started by McCarthy, as a way to needle Democrats, and has enjoyed a resurgence in the past decade.

A Democratic congressman from the Democratic Party is a Democrat and holds a Democratic seat. Democrat is the noun; Democratic is the adjective.

Followup: the Johns Hopkins University professor responsible for the Lancet studies on Iraqi deaths has now been censured for refusing to disclose basic facts about his research.
