Subject: RE: BS: Are there any voters left in Iraq?
Teribus--

The question is: what has happened to Iraq since the fall of Saddam? Do you have any idea who ruled Iraq from 1990 to 2003? Therefore your figures (1990 to July 2006) are, as usual, worthless.

Give us the total Iraq population figure in, say, May 2003, (after the fall of Saddam)--that is, after the "Coalition" "triumph". (Remember the "Coalition brought peace and tranquility (according to you).

Now compare the May 2003 figure to now. (In fact things have not improved since July 2006--so even the July 2006 figure leaves out the continuing tragedy since then.)

And give us your source, please.

Also, the population figures mask the true misery. Half the displacement since the fall of Saddam has been within Iraq itself. So these people still count as as part of the Iraqi population.   But of course that displacement (which still goes on) does not bother you--they are not real refugees, right? So they have no grounds to complain, right?

Yes, I am aware Saddam displaced many also. Show me one quote where I have defended Saddam on anything--or advocated his return. We are talking about the paradise on earth which the ""Coalition" brought.

Each month 40,000 Iraqis flee their homes because of the (continuing) war--source--International Rescue Committee. Yes, I am aware this is possibly not an objective source. You are welcome to provide your figure---with source, of course.

Thank you so much.
