Not in China.

So?

America killed over 32,000 civilians in Iraq.

What's your point?

You really have to stop watching Al Jazeria to get your news

Actually Xanith is quite right.

The coalition killed 11,252 civilians and seriously hurt 20,254. Which adds up to just under 32,000.

OK - I hang my head in shame . . .

the bombs were smart, the occupants weren't

**yrwyddfa** · Sep 10th, 2004, 10:28 AM

I didn't consider that.

I must remember when a ballistic missile travelling at at least three times the speed of sound comes towards me to sidestep quickly.

oh you were talking about an ICBM, yea if one of those are coming you have no chance to survive make your time.

It doesn't need to be an ICBM to be ballistic . . .

**CORONA BEER** · Sep 10th, 2004, 10:44 AM

i thought we had more than that

To be fair, just because someone does something worse, it doesn't excuse China from blame.

China's actions here would appear to be as dispicable as always. Unfortunately, they are too powerful a nation for anyone to do anything about it.

Hopefully, like a vending machine, change will come form the inside.

**yrwyddfa** · Sep 10th, 2004, 11:53 AM

In a vending machine change is put into a slot first; change comes from the universe outside of Vendiverse.

**yrwyddfa** · Sep 10th, 2004, 11:53 AM

Was that a new message I saw when I posted.

No need to hang your head in shame just because you were wrong. Also please post your sources for your numbers because I am sure different sources have different numbers and people who lean against the war probably take the highest estimates while those for the war take the lowest. Probably best to average the 2 to come up with a reasonable estimate.

**yrwyddfa** · Sep 11th, 2004, 03:00 AM

I posted the source elsewhere on this site.

**mendhak** · Sep 11th, 2004, 10:45 PM

Do we have to go on a scavenger hunt now, looking for that link?

**yrwyddfa** · Sep 13th, 2004, 02:51 AM

I think that you should . . .

But just in case you cannot bothered:

Aah, I see it now...

**yrwyddfa** · Sep 13th, 2004, 03:51 AM

I've just had another look at that source: the figures are going up all the time.

my point is :

sorry I have no point now, You have made it all clear to me.

As long there is a iraq-conflict all the worlds problems has been cancelled.

I´am sorry, I´ll never again post a non Iraq-bush thread

If you know that someone has a slant; that someone has a biased opinion; that someone has an angle - and you criticise them for jest - what does that make you?

I'll tell you. Nothing.

**demotivater** · Sep 28th, 2004, 10:23 AM

A jester?

**yrwyddfa** · Sep 28th, 2004, 10:26 AM

'A jester'

A remarkable comment

(if you know what I mean)

But if I was nothing, I'd be unable to type on this keyboard....... I'm sooo confused.
