Why does EVERY DARN THING have to be politicized?

The major portion of Iraqi casualties were inflicted by the allies, and although the war only lasted a few weeks on paper, that didn’t mean that all was peaceful after that time had elapsed. There were still engagements happening in areas throughout Iraq, involving Allied troops, well after the war had officially ended. From what I understood the Allies lost a mere 200+ troops, while the Iraqis lost a whopping 200,000+! It won’t be this crystal clear again, I’m afraid.

Thank you for clearing that out for me. That's pretty close to the information I heard too.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.
