I find it strange that every kid gets taught letters and numbers by using learning games, yet more advanced learning ignores this technique.
Hey, almost everyone I know at my University prefer to play games instead of reading books and studying the old fashioned way. Does it mean that we are actually way ahead of the rest? Yay!
I knew that the embargo was causing casualties but that number came as a shock.
Consider this:
* USA wages war on a country.
* USA imposes an embargo on said country.
* USA wages war again, claiming to do this country a great service.
Results:
* Civilian casualties the last ten years are somehere around a million. Maybe less, maybe more, it doesn't matter how you count; it will be ALOT.
Conclusion:
* The rest of the world can claim genocide and attack USA to free the people of Iraq. No need to be sanctioned by UN as recently proven.
No, I'm not suggesting this and there is of course more to it than this. However USA is out on VERY thin ice here. Noone likes Saddam Hussein but if you run the numbers you might realize who is doing the most harm.
While ranting I might as well address another issue. Iraqi troops using guerilla tactics to attack supply lines behind the front is portrayed as evil criminals in western media. I highly object to this. During my time in the army (no, not the US) this was a major part of what my unit was training for; striking targets deep in enemy territory where it would hurt the most, especially supply lines. If for some reason USA was to attack Sweden, I would be one of those portrayed as noting but a lowlife criminals. I actually respect the Iraqis fighting a superior force defending their country, I could only hope to do the same if hell ever comes knocking on my door. There are no evil and good sides out in the trenches, only brave men fighting for their lives, remember that next time you cheer when you read reports from Iraq.

If you matched the parenthesis above by instinct then you can you ahead, otherwise move right along.

Yes, I'm done now.
You have got to be kidding me!
