(Actually, they would be right to do so, for once). But the lunatic fringe then spews out kill-Bush comments, and you expect to get a pass on that? No way. That was disgusting, disgraceful. Shame on you. In reference to your thought about perhaps running President Bush over if given the chance: Ann Coulter tells assassination jokes, and the radical left goes ballistic.

"He wishes he was younger so he could participate" when he deliberately avoided fighting in the Vietnam war. It just makes me sick. Bush is in Utah today to raise money for the republicans. It costs $30,600 to meet him. If I had money to throw away iI would half way consider spending it just to meet the worst president ever. But the republicans would have access to the funds. Good thing I don't have the money to throw away.

B. - You are right. There are thousands of Americans that died of car crashes and gunshot wounds and falling off of roofs.many of those entries are preventable. As a trauma surgeon, I should know. The occupation of Iraq, on the other hand, is something completely different. This is a situation in which our president told us a number of fairy tales that just simply were not true. Some of them they did not know the truth but should've investigated and found out what was true before they told us and others were simply wrong. Tens of thousands of people have been killed or injured because of this "mistake." No, they're not all Americans but they all are human beings. As Americans, as people of faith, we must do better. Thank you for your comments. B. B. –

I think that is an understatement. Instead, we need to repudiate the complete ideology that made this invasion possible. The arrogance to think that we might be able to go in there smack some folks around and set up a American a friendly government was beyond comprehension.

What have we gained? Are we safer? Remember - far more Iraqis and Afghans died as well. We miscalculated. That is where the outrage is. Let's make it right. Comparing our soliders' deaths to medical-related deaths is not the same thing, and not the purpose of this blog.

Berg Tue, 27 May 2008 19:01:13 +0000 http://www.whereistheoutrage.net/wordpress/?p=6848#comment-57515 More Americans die every 3 days from infections they catch in American hospitals than die in a year in the "war" in Iraq. Americans die every second from thousands of different things. Most of them are preventable. Most of them are other peoples fault. Where is the outrage? Why is the outrage always focused at George Bush? How can he possibly be responsible for the 2 million poeple that die every year in this country? It's all politically movtivated, or people looking to blame someone else for thier own shortcomings.
