Created on: May 28th, 2007
Memorial Day 2007 and after seeing all Yahoo! Most Recommended Pictures filled with the grief stricken family of dead US soldiers coming from Iraq I felt obligated to make this.

Conservatives want things to stay as they are. Liberals want to change things. It's a viewpoint that is different on different things, not a f*cking political party. Bush wanting to take away my rights in the Bill of Rights is Liberal. Me not wanting Bush's dick in the constitution is conservative. Are people really this stupid?
Well made, but not fully logical. I understand your position, but ending the war will not end the suffering. Upon withdrawl, the region will become extremely chaotic and many people will die. It is also possible that Iran will move in and start to set up shop. This will lead to even more casualties. There is no easy way out of this one.
I think you've failed to recognize the biggest costs of the war- the accounting (no to mention total economic) costs of the war. We've seriously thrown a lot of money down the drain over this war. Bankrupting the government is a conservative pillar, and I don't know why. As for lives lost, it's pretty much a push. Americans? Volunteer army. Iraqis? Sh*t happens. What we really need to consider are these important points:
Let's think about the bottom 25% of Americans. Well, a bunch of them died, because they weren't qualified for anything better than grunts. In addition to their not being in poverty due to not being alive, their families will have less mouths to feed and they will get a generous death ransom. The only problem, really, is that there will be less minimum wage supply, so wages will rise, and my burger price will go up. That sucks, seriously. But, less supply = higher wages = less poverty. Looks like a positive!
In summary, wars fought by poor volunteer armies and paid for by the rich are the best solution for all parties involved IFF someone can figure out how to keep overhead low. Spending exorbitant amounts of money to keep volunteer soldiers alive when they'd gladly die for their country is silly. The solution to all problems, then, is cheap volunteer freedom fighting de facto suicidal genocide for the greater good. War ain't so bad!
"As high as 650,000" That part is wrong. John Hopkins and The Lancet (and others) estimated the number of civilian Iraqi casualities at 650,000, not said "it could be as high as." Plus, that was over 6 months ago. It's much higher now. Ret. US General Barry McCAffrey estimates 3,000 Iraqi citizens are murdered each month.
