3. What does that mean?

Iraq is the same as WWII?

It was worth it?

We're lucky, it could be more?

Bush done good?

Similarly, can we compare the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis killed as a result of this illegal invasion to the number of civilians killed in WWII, and feel better?

4. It shows that for the US, Iraq isn't a war as much as it is a prolonged SWAT raid on steroids.
However, for the unfortunate locals, of whom hundreds of thousands have died, it is a war.
