   [1]So what?
   Rape rooms, mutilation, children tortured in fron of their parents...
   so what? War bad! Peace good!
   Now, let's extrapolate [2]Saddam's 2 million violent deaths into 24
   million excess deaths, using the 12:1 ratio of estimated casualties
   between [3]antiwar leftist site Iraq Body Count and the excess deaths
   claimed by Ali's [4]insane link.
   Why does the Nation oppose a war to remove a regime that killed 24
   mllion people? They must be bloodthirsty, evil people. Why, they're
   [5]worse than Hitler!
   Of course, this is all quite spurious. I'm just demonstrating how
   dishonest the antiwar left is on this issue, and what it would look
   like if those who support the effort to help Iraqis have a decent life
   were as mendacious as those who want to condemn them life in a living
   hell -- in the name of "peace."
