Note that this rightwing nut provides zero reason to think the Lancet's figure is inaccurate.
There are lots of other rightwing nuts who are claiming the figure cannot be accurate. For a definitive refutation by Brit Daniel Davies in the Guardian of this approach, see: http://tinyurl.com/yzhaa8 Davies makes the point that the Lancet study's importance is not so much a matter of numbers of dead, but rather as a measure of whether the situation in Iraq is now better or worse than it was before the invasion. Ignorant rightwingers like Shemp have been insisting that no matter how bad the conditions are in Iraq these days, they were worse under Saddam because Saddam killed so many people. That excuse is now down the toilet. The rightwing nuts, including Shemp, will scream that to say the situation is now much worse is equivalent to saying we should have left Saddam in power. That, of course, is an absurd thought-stopper, and anyone who tries to use it has destroyed his/her credibility. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "shempmcgurk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Pinning Civilian Deaths on the Great Satan > By Mark D.
