Hundreds of Thousands Killed in Iraq, 3000 Killed on 9-11 by a Different Enemy. Fair?
By the way, if it isn't obvious I mean that the US has indirectly caused those hundreds of thousands of deaths.
Bush CLAIMS that Iraq was related to 9/11. I know it isn't, but by his point of view...
Al-Quaeda supposedly is responsible for 9/11 in which 3000 were killed, yet we invade Iraq and cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocents, claiming revenge for an attack made on us by someone else.

I don't subscribe to quid pro quo revenge for terrorism by other terrorism. I like to think we would try to solve the problem or eliminate the source of the terror act. That said, there is no doubt Iraq is a mistake.

No, it's not fair! That's the reason why we should have focused on bringing bin Laden to justice rather than invading a country that was in no way involved in the attacks. That being said, though, the war is obviously about oil and not terrorism! Just ask Alan Greenspan!

Most of the hundreds of thousands killed in Iraq have been killed by fellow Muslims, not American soldiers.
So can we add their deaths to the 9-11 tally?

I guess since 9/11 had nothing to do with Iraq I fail to see the connection. Death is never fair..
Before the invasion I never heard Bush claim it was to avenge 9/11. That is why we went to Afghanistan..

Actually most of the Iraqi's that have died have been killed by al qaeda which is the same enemy that did 9/11..

Let's see... 9-11 terrorists = extremist muslim radicals, Iraq under Hussein = extremist muslim radicals. In both cases most of them aren't even from the same country of orgin but made their battleground NYC on 9/11/01 and Iraq shortly thereafter. Sounds pretty similar to me.

If war was supposed to be fair, we would have a pre-war meeting to exchange weapons and make sure everyone had the same weapons and the same amount of ammo
I can't think of a single war in history that was "Fair"

Look around. America is the Land of the Free, not the Land of the Fair.
