I'm not usually one to argue over semantics, but in this instance the words "Ton" and "Death" and "Iraq" don't belong in the same sentence.

...unless you are referencing the injustices leveled against the iraqi people by Mr. Saddam Hussein.

Were having a discussion over the skewed coverage of this conflict. And then you go and embellish your post for dramatic effect - that's fine, but don't think you're not gonna get called out on it. Try using the word "quagmire" and see what type of visceral reaction you get.

Oh and by the way - How many lives were saved by dropping the bomb? ....exactly, a ton.
