Okey, just the ones that died from the famine caused by communism under Stalin then.

Second, if you wish to blame this president for each and every casualty in Iraq, you will have to blame all past presidents for war casualties accordingly (see my previous post). Is FDR really personally responsible for each and every death in WWII?

WWII was not a war of choice, the axis (the real one) was an imminent treat to the world, they had to be crushed, Iraq was not an imminent threat.

Third, according to your reasoning, why is the responsibility solely the president's, when Congress voted for the invasion of Iraq?
|
Congress voted to give the authority, not for the war itself. You can give a policeman the authority to use his gun, doesn't mean he has to. |
So it's okay to condemn President Bush as long as it fits your criteria. Gotcha!

We're averaging 50,000 automobile related deaths per year now here in the U.S. Somehow we all find the courage each day to climb into our cars and trucks and venture out onto the roads and highways.
Preventable? Yes. Just like the 2,000 students who commit suicide each year on college campuses.
Each one of those brave soldiers, seamen, and airmen volunteered for duty to defend this country. Their deaths are revered by me. They signed up and went to do their jobs in order that we could remain free. When we have an enemy who has no problem with shooting children in the back, we need to take the fight to them so that our children and our future will be protected from this evil ever reaching our shores again. Something tells me each one of those 1000 would gladly die all over again if given the choice between protecting us, or protecting their own personal well being. God bless the U.S. military.
