[An estimated 655,000 Iraqis have died since 2003 who might still be alive but for the US-led invasion, according to a survey by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.]
Assuming these numbers are accurate, let's go ahead and blame the deaths of 5 million Jews in the Holocaust and the million-plus Chinese, Koreans and Filipinos in Japanese death camps on the United States, too.

Fortunately, unlike people on your side of the spectrum, we don't fixate on a certain demographic and blame them for everything bad that's ever happened in the world. I don't have to make up things the US's war policies have caused to conclude that I don't approve of them.
First of all, 6 million Jews died at the hands of the Nazis, not 5 million. Second, your comparison makes no sense what-so-ever.
Final verdict: Shut the fuck up.
Well, there is a difference. In the Nazi holocaust THEY WERE BY NO MEANS RESPONSIBLE. Same with the other cases. There are several guilty people on the subject. However, those Iraquis are the result, direct or indirect, of a bad decision on the part of Bush and nothing else.
And the little cretin won't allow comments in his journal, except for pre-approved 'friends' (which seems to be two). Figures. Wants to say anything and hear only yes-man responses. Such an open mind. (/sarcasm). Still, he doesn't seem to have been posting long and he's in school .. that's all I could find out. Fundie? Nah. Wants to be ruler in a world of one (himself), most likely.

While we're at it, lets blame the Cambodian killing and the nerve gassing of Kurds on christians.
Scenario 1: Gang of thugs seizes power in Germany and the western allies invade once they pose a threat to the rest of the world, coincidentally stopping the organised slaughter of hate groups at the same time. They keep the country tightly under control for some time afterwards in order to obliterate support for such thugs.
Scenario 2: Western allies invade a despotic regime that, despite exhaustive analysis, has not been proven to pose a threat to the rest of the world. Allies totally fail to keep the country under control and countless gangs of thugs spring up and slaughter pretty much anyone else 24/7, spurred on by general feelings of resentment at the continued occupation.
Yeah, I can totally see the similarity.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
