    My original quote was of someone who stated millions, you responded to that. Go back and read, it will click. Slow down. Breathe.

    ...And I said nothing about millions, I gave my own numbers. Now you go back and read then please take a breathe of fresh air.

    Post reply #8, page one. You gave no numbers in response to my reply calling the other guy out on his "millions" post.

    That is what I'm talking about. It was A to B, you entered as C. It is also not in the "hundreds of thousands" either.

    I know what I, said he said millions.

    Wait a minute are trying to tell me that our US forces in Iraq have not killed over 100,000 Iraqis?

    When it gets to 200,000 then it will be "hundreds of thousands", until then if it is 100,000 or 199,999, is not "hundreds of thousands". Nor is it "millions" like the other guy said.

    I hope that clears it up.

    Millions protested the war in Iraq, didnt stop it. Perhaps someone needs to just bomb the convention in protest. That should wake some people up.

    Or maybe set yourself on fire in protest? Extreme, but these are extreme times...no? or does the killing of many lives and the many crimes America commits not extreme enough for that to happen?

    I wish a million people stormed the white house the day before America attcked Iraq. That may of stopped it.

    Of course it would create a host of new problems, but at least they would be your problems, and yours alone. Well to a certain point anyway.

    The civilian death toll is not close to a million, at least according to iraqbodycount.org. I also am pretty sure it therefore would not make it millions.
    The death count is higher than 1 million deaths (direct and indirect) since the begining of the war, at least according to independant studies. It doesn't make it millions though, it's still a disturbingly high number.

    Fine...then non violently burn it down.

    Even the Mahatma questioned non violence. Many people died being non violent fighting the British.

    Just standing around getting shot at. Good thing the amount of Indians far exceeded the amount of bullets the Empire had at the time.

    Non violence isn't the easiest way there is to make your voice be heard that's for sure. And if I do advocate non violence, I sure didn't have to face bullets/brutality while vowing to stay non violent. However I do believe the way you fight for your ideas says more than the ideas you fight for.
