I see this didn't stop you from posting this to SMC.......

did a little research on
putting the 9/11 terrorist episode, with its
2700 victims, into perspective. Turns out,
every 5 to 7 weeks, Americans kill 2700
Americans. 118 weeks since 9/11. About
118/6*2700 = 53,000. As you can see,
Americans represent the greatest danger to
Americans. Allowing hundreds of GI's to be
killed and spending billions of dollars on
the military enterprise is unlikely to make
the United States any safer for Americans....
Call it revenge in Afghanistan... Call it
propaganda in Iraq... But do not call it
military action to protect Americans.

If only one American life is saved due to military action in Iraq,
that action protected Americans.
