Those who would be Hitler will be unless they are stopped. There is no surprise that we are fighting terrorists in Iraq. There is also no surprise that terrorists are killing civilians in Iraq. That's what terrorists do. We can fight them in Iraq and around the world, OR we can fight them here. If we must fight the terrorists on our own soil, they will be killing our civilians AGAIN.

Internationally, they have already declared war on us, and they have made it painfully obvious they intend to kill us. In fact, they have killed us. NOW, it's only a matter of common sense to take the battle to them, wherever they are in the world. OR, some would suggest we wait for them to come kill us again. Waiting for them to come get us AGAIN doesn't appear to be very bright.

Florida_Catholic -

Why do you only have compassion toward Iraqi civilians who are killed as a result of collateral damage by US and allied troops, but you have no compassion for the (at least) 300,000 Iraqi civilians murdered by their evil dictator, Saddam Hussein? Isn't the world better off, especially Iraq, now that he is gone?

Just because you mentioned Hitler can i mention that Stalin killed more people than hitler did in their holocausts (sp?)

You're right my friend. He murdered an estimated 20 million. The only reason most people don't know, or acknowledge this - is because he didn't try to take over the world like Hitler did.

i wonder what would have happened if the Atom Bomb didn't exist?

And another thing....

300,000 Iraqi civilians slaughtered at the hand of Saddam --
this number does not include the countless women who were snatched off the street and brutally raped, the men whose ears were cut off, or those that had their hands cut off and God only knows of the other atrocities...

Sincereheart,

The numbers you provide seem a little low to me.  Are you counting civilians only ?  Where did you find them ?

Bronzesnake,

I would think both Hitler and Stalin were looking for global domination.  We seem to agree about Hitler, what is it that makes you think Stalin was diffrerent ?

 When did Stalin drive a massive war machine through Europe & Africa or bomb the tar out of Britain?

Take care my friend...

 Quoting from WWII for Dummies -"Over 60 million people died in WWII and of those 60 million, more were civilian than soldiers." Pages 363 and 364 give a run down with some numbers but does not offer a breakdown of the total civilian vs. soldier.

The Soviet Union lost the most with 25 million deaths, but only about a third were combat related.

China's death toll is incomplete but estimates are between 15 and 22 million,

Poland had 6 million deaths including 3 million Jews, roughly 20% of its prewar population,

 Germany lost 4 million soldiers and 2 million civilians, many of them women,

Japan had 1.2 million battle deaths and another 1.4 million soldiers listed as missing, almost 1 million civilians were killed in the bombing raids between 1944 and 1945,

 over 1.7 million Yugoslavs and 500,000 Greeks died in the war,

France lost 200,000 soldiers and 400,000 civilians,

Italy lost 330,000 people,

Hungary lost 147,000 men in combat,

 Bulgaria lost 19,000 in combat, Romania lost 73,000 in combat,

Great Britain lost 264,000 soldiers and 60,000 civilians in bombing raids,

the United States lost 292,000 soldiers,

the Dutch lost 10,000 soldiers and 190,000 civilians,

 Australia lost 23,000 men in combat,

Canada 37,000 soldiers,

India lost 24,000 men in battle,

New Zeland 10,000 and South Africa 6,000.

These totals do not include the 6 million Jews who perished in the Final Solution of Nazi Germany or the 17 million dead as a result of Japan's policies in Asia from 1931 to 1945.
