Not to mention over 10,000 Iraqi civilians. Yes, innocent civilians.
Lord only knows how many Iraqis have died fighting against imperial occupation. During the revolution we called those folk patriots ... but Bushites have recoined the modern day Iraqi patriots as "thugs", "insurgents" and "terrorists."
I suppose the winners will always write the history books, but that doesn't make it accurate.

I would have no problem calling them patriots or whatever they want to be called if they attacked the marines and canned the attacks on their fellow citizens and other non-military personnel. It's a convenient excuse to say that they're abetting the U.S. occupation by trying to earn a living therefore they should lose their head or be shot. Any Iraqi that dies in this manner gets no sympathy from me. If anything I would cheer.

Where did you get this figure? As violent as we are, I have a hard time believing that anywhere near 1,460,000 are murdered annually. Please cite your source.

D2, truthteller is just rambling on about all the aborted fetus's going on in the world. Where he gets those figures is a mystery to me. He probably makes them up. You have to understand that he believes that an aborted fetus is a killing, just like the killing that goes on all over the world daily.
That is his belief, and he is entitled to it.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- The grim milestone of 1,000 American military deaths was surpassed Tuesday after a surge in fighting in Iraq, which has killed 17 U.S. service members in the past three days.
A soldier was killed early today when a roadside bomb struck a convoy near Balad, northeast of Baghdad. Two soldiers died in clashes Tuesday with militiamen loyal to rebel Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Five other Americans died Tuesday in separate attacks, mostly in the Baghdad area. Seven Marines were killed Monday in a suicide car bombing north of Fallujah. Two soldiers were killed in a mortar attack Sunday.
West of the capital, U.S. warplanes swooped low over Fallujah on Tuesday in air strikes after seven Marines and three Iraqi soldiers were killed the day before in a car-bombing near the Sunni insurgent-controlled city.
A group linked to Jordanian-born militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi -- Tawhid and Jihad -- posted a statement on a militant Web site claiming responsibility for the attack, describing it as ''a martyr operation ... that targeted American soldiers and their mercenary apostate collaborators from the Iraqi army.''
Fighting between U.S. soldiers and al-Sadr's militiamen erupted Tuesday when U.S. officials said the cleric's gunmen fired on Americans carrying out patrols in the Sadr City district of Baghdad. Two Americans died, U.S. officials said.
A senior Iraqi Health Ministry official, Saad al-Amili, said 35 Iraqis were killed and 203 wounded in the Sadr City clashes. An al-Sadr spokesman, Sheik Raed al-Kadhimi, blamed ''intrusive'' American patrolling for provoking the fighting.
''Our fighters have no choice but to return fire and to face the U.S. forces and helicopters pounding our houses,'' al-Kadhimi said in a statement. AP

The pace of American wounded aint so hot.
About 7000 so far.
Plus about 10,000 Iraqi deaths.
Which means at LEAST 30 to 50,000 wounded Iraqis.
And still counting day by day.
Yup. A real success.
