25,000 Civilians Killed Since Iraq Invasion, Says Report

If we are to judge by lives lost, is the situation now worse? Before the invasion, just children alone were dying at the rate of 60,000 a year from the economic sanctions on Iraq, according to our Archdiocese, see p. 1 [PDF]

    So the operative question is "Who killed the civilians?"

    My hunch is that, by and large, the deaths were NOT "collateral damage," although, undoubtedly, there were some in that category.

    The homicide-bombings are Saddam-ism by another name, largely done by those who are members of the Party of Death.

    Useful to recall the old maxim: "Where you find lies and murder, there is Satan."
