"The question is: So whats the ratio between those killed by the U.S., those killed by insurgents and those killed by Saddam? "

Best numbers I can come up with are Saddam killed more than 300,000 Kurds. Unknown how many others. No breakdown that can be trusted of how many insurgents vs US have killed, as everyone here states all the killed in Iraq are the fault of the US.



"Are you trying to say that the war in Iraq was a preventative measure? If so, you would have to add the number of Iraqis killed by both the U.S. and the insurgents to decide if the invasion was worth it. "

No, I HAVE stated that the invasion of Iraq was a continuation of the 1991 war, when Saddam failed to comply with the cease-fire provisions that he had agreed to. I think 14 years of non-compliance were enough- others seem to have wanted to make it a few more decades.





"What kind of a person kills because they are afraid they might be killed? Is that your your new rationale for the war in Iraq? I call that a criminal act. It was hardly self defense. "

That is YOUR rational. I have stated mine in numerous threads, but have never been given the curtesy of a reasonable discussion.
