2. That's a difficult one - the troops, of course, are an easy number to get.

But the additional people who died from starvation, homelessness, lack of heat, lack of healthcare - that's a much more difficult number to find.

But I'm sure that number is way more than it would have been had the policies in place prior to 2001 been left to stand as they were.

Plus the additional people around the world who have suffered solely because of Bush.

It's a lot, I'm sure.

6. You're right, the killing effect of domestic policies are often overlooked.

3. If you include everybody

seriously mentally harmed, injured, homeless or killed probably about 30 million...if you include those who were mentally abused by having their nations denigrated, or who lost the esteem they once had for the US probably a couple of billion!

7. We must care for these people. If you are religious pray for healing.

The Bush crime family has done despicable things to precious human life. :dem:

8. Not according to "Dr." Bill Frist

who wrote a vomit-inducing op-ed on CNN yesterday about how G W Bush saved 10 MILLION lives!

9. 1-2 million Iraqis.

Over four thousand American troops. British, Canadian, and others.

Several hundred thousand Afghanis.

A thousand or so residents of New Orleans.

A few thousand NYers, and the 19 hijackers would be in prison, arrested before they boarded the plane.
