The war on terrorism has been hailed as the war needed to make the world a safer place. The attack on the World Trade Center in 2001 catalyzed the Bush administration to declare war against terrorism and to use Iraq as a battlefield. The United Nations just reported that 35,000 civilians were killed in Iraq last year (with about that same amount of people injured)–Just last year. In contrast, in Lebanon during the 15-year civil war, 100,000 people were killed. The world may be a safer place–but I doubt Iraqis are singing that tune.
