Most of those Iraqi casualities were military.  They're 
morally legitimate, and completely different from the 
3,000 American casualties inflicted by criminal 
terrorists in a single day.  Iraq civilian casualties 
are legitimately considered collateral:  we were not 
trying to attack and kill civilians.  By contrast, the 
criminal terrorists you cheer *were* targeting civilians.

As always, you exhibit the classic moral confusion of 
political extremists.

That has not been done.

You have ZERO intellectual credibility:  you SOUGHT OUT 
a book by extreme anti-western leftist/collectivists! 
You don't have a shred of intellectual honesty:  you 
know what conclusion you want to read, and by golly, 
you can always find a fellow traitor who says it.

The appalling thing is your utter lack of credibility 
and honesty.

YOU did:  You said we deserved it.

No, they have not.  This is your disgusting reflex to 
find false moral equivalence.  It is dishonest from the 
start, and one of many reasons you have no credibility 
and are self-marginalized.  You KNOW you are lying.
