And your Iraq death count, of course, will include the thousands of
Iraqis caught in the crossfire. I mean, their welfare was the point of
this war, according to the neo-cons--or are they some kind of non-human
casualty not to considered in your debased calculations?

That was supposed to be the point of the Geneva Convention. In exchange
for wearing a clearly identifiable military uniform you will receive
certain rights if you become a POW. However, some wieners in D.C. have
decided that the insurgence in Iraq don't really need to wear military
uniforms to make them distinctive from civilians and we'll give them
Geneva Convention rights anyway (an in some case U.S. constitutional
rights). Sad, sad, very sad.
