1,000
Another grim milestone in the Iraq war is imminent. Iraq Coalition Casualties reports there are 998 U.S. casualties as of Sept. 7 at 6 p.m. GMT +0300. By the time you read this, there may be 1,000 or more U.S. dead in Iraq.
[from Back to Iraq 3.0]
This is probably where the black and white turns into grey: no matter who is right or wrong, no matter what, war is wrong.
On this site the amount of people on the Iraqi side are counted. Numbers are slightly different from range...

If that is true, you'd be speaking German now. Oh, and there wouldn't be any Israel too, due to lack of Jews.
Posted by Maarten Schenk | September 9, 2004 9:39 AMWell, to me there is still a slight difference between people that invaded and other that didn't. I guess we have a slightly different idea about this. :)
Posted by ine | September 9, 2004 11:13 AMWould we, be speaking German? Who will tell what the Butterfly Effect would have been. There's no comparison whatsoever between history and the present, let be the future.
But in the end, this debate is of no importance; as long as our civilization, with the US on the frontlines is surrounding the oil wells with fixed bayonets and settling into a smog-shrouded Dark Age, there is no hope. We, that's including you and me, have no idea how quickly and radically we need change.
Soon we'll be 10 billion, a world in which our material culture is not sustainable.
Our only reality is that we are changing. If you would read this very blog attentively you would understand what I mean with that. It's no grungy hippie talk, it's a battle, our own personal battle. We are changing, but to what end? The question we must face is: what do we want?
We should want to abandon that which has no future. And the US and the values it stands for has no future. It's nothing personal, beyond politics and nations. The US is just not sustainable. And today we should blow right through mere sustainability. We should desire a world of enhancement. That is what should come next. We should want to expand the options of those who will follow us. We need more options.
What are your options?
