Gurney - If you want to figure poison gas into the equation you had better find some facts and figures about Fallujah.

Nerd is right. Considering the WMD's were trumped up allegations, how can we justify the rise in starvation? Is democracy worth it to the people of Iran?

BTW - I thought of entitling this thread, What Price Freedom?, but I was sure to get blasted so I used the present title.

I know that it is impossible to equate democracy with starvation but I am still wondering how Martin and others can justify these very solid facts. Does a push for democracy mean that more children must die because the U.S. thinks that Saddam was a bad man with dangerous weapons and that the U.N. oil for food program was corrupt?

Seems to me that war is far more corrupt and the statistics prove it.
