zarlen...comments re "Jews aginst Sharon" is just a hypothetical pt of view vs another pt of view

What I was asking for was a critique of a data set and methodology

And btw....as much as you want to refute it....deaths can be worthwhile and "worth it"

To suggest that even 10,000 deaths are "too much" clearly and miserably avoids the FACT that aside from the purported cause of the war (you say oil I say necessity)...

....SH was killing far more

You lot absolutely refuse to accept that to sit back and do nothing would almost certianly led to as many if not more deaths - of Iraqis - forget about those outside the border

Sooo.... if we end up with a KIA of the order we are...and if we get the outcome of a free democratic people-powered Iraq (I know the lefties hate this idea)...but if it so eventuates

...the deaths ARE worth it

And in comparison.... the deaths left to an unrestrained SH's regime would be truely wasted.

Even if we just look at the infant mortality rate that < war as circa 108/1000 and now is about 29/1000

...as a direct result of the war

.....this translates into an awful lot of kids

.... NOW ALIVE.

Think about it.....
