Andrew Cockburn, Counterpunch, January 9:
"President Bush's off-hand summation last month of the number of Iraqis who have so far died as a result of our invasion and occupation as '30,000, more or less' was quite certainly an under-estimate. The true number is probably hitting around 180,000 by now, with a possibility, as we shall see, that it has reached as high as half a million."

20% of americans probably aren't certain about the round earth theory. 80% of americans think you're full of addamo.
Most Americans do not believe that the US overthrew Saddam for 9/11.
You don't sympathize, you just know how it feels, since you feel it often.
9/11 does change the way americans view foreign policy. Not for the better, either.
Regardless, most Americans do not believe that the US overthrew Saddam for 9/11. There is no poll in existance that states they did.
The poll suggesting a link is not a poll assessing the thought of the American public as to the supposed reason for overthrowing the tyranical murderous Iraqi regime. The one that murdered 500,000 to thumb its nose at the US.
Aren't you the one who claims 500,000 died because of the sanctions?
Indeed the support from the public was garnered on the premise that Iraq posed a threat to the US and other countries in the region. But not because of 9/11.
No.
