Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies...

'I also believe human life is a sacred gift from our creator. I worry about a culture that devalues life, and believe as your president I have an important obligation to foster and encourage respect for life in America and throughout the world' - George Bush

Iraq
coalition casualties: 2795
Civilian casuaties: between 39284 - 43744. no one knows for sure.

"Every tragic loss of our own forces -- we see that as a setback and as a failure, when we should be seeing that as a renewed urgency for us to rise to the challenge of defeating these people." -- Prime Minister Tony Blair

so Tony 2795 tragic losses. And 40,000 forign people we dont give a stuff about?

Last year, the prominent British medical journal, Lancet, published a study estimating that over 100,000 Iraqi civilians had died because of the war. The study determined that the risk of death by violence for civilians in Iraq is now 58 times higher than before the invasion.

Petrol is now £1-03 per litre here. That's roughly $8-50 for a British gallon.

But, on the bright side, you know when you're getting rid of that prick Dubbya - we might keep Teflon Tony forever...

Yep....the bottom line is that human life is disposable if it suits the purpose for "higher good". The trick is to find a great excuse. Fool the masses. Nothing new unfortunately. History always repeats itself in one form or another.
