Gee, Teribus, I get the impression, that since I've been labeled "LIU"--Look It Up"--that you feel left out since I don't tell you to look up words. Well, if you really feel your grasp of the language is that weak, just tell me what part of your vocabulary needs assistance, and I'll do what I can to help you.

Your powers of logic do seem to need some attention. Obviously, since you were waxing lyrical about the increase of the Iraq population, you need to think about the time period. Unless, of course, you mean to suggest that under Saddam from 1990 through 2003--by far the majority of the period to which you refer, the Iraqis were doing just fine. That Saddam was a benevolent father figure, under whom the Iraqis had nothing to worry about but procreation--so the population soared. Somehow, I thought there were problems.

The question is whether the "triumph" in 2003 ushered in a period of improvement in the fortunes of Iraqis or not.

Do you believe there are now about 2 million Iraqis who have fled Iraq--and another 2 million who have been displaced within Iraq? Yes or no?

Do you believe that 40,000 Iraqis are forced to leave their homes every month? Yes or no?

If you do not accept these figures, what are your figures?

And your source for them.
