Reply #27: I beg to differ

The Lancet report put it at a hundred thousand dead 2 years ago and the "insurgency" hadn't even really taken off at that time.

Then there's the whole question of who or what is behind the insurgency. Many Iraqis believe it is America/Britian/Israel.

When some Brits were caught posing as insurgents and killing policemen, British troops came and broke them out of jail. That certainly doesn't look good to me.

As for us being invaded, if we invade Iran, then I could quite easily see us reaching "Nazi Germany" levels in the rest of the worlds' eyes and I think we could be invaded for it. We don't have a force field around this country. We don't even have a shitty missile defense shield after billions upon billions being pissed away on it for decades.

Sure, we can wipe out any other country with nukes, but we're a goner too and that is just as certain. Not one that I could count as a win for us.
