Do you have any report citing the numbers of folks who died daily, 
weekly, monthly, and yearly under Saddam?
I'm not asking sarcastically, I want to know if such numbers are 
available from any reasonably credible source.

As to me being a 'sado-masochist'... well, your flame-claims are your 
own to justify -- I think the invasion, and occupation *as it was done* 
was wrong.

The result *as it stands now* is unacceptable. It is unacceptable for 
America, and it's unacceptable for the innocent civilians of Iraq. Our 
military did *precisely* what they were told to do -- and more, they 
bear *none* of the burden for poor outcome in this... increasingly 
sticky mire. That burden, rests entirely, with those 'wise folk' in the WH.
