I’m not being …
I’m not being simplistic, just looking at the figures. Fist, I’m talking about terrorist incidents. Second, try 5,000 (that’s how many were killed by saddam in his 1988 chemical move against the kurds). Now, look how many have died since the US invaded, more than 700 thousand Iraqis. That’s 140x higher than the ones that died under the saddam regime. I’m not trying to defend saddam, he surely was an evil leader, I’m just saying iraq was better off with him.

Again you are being …
Again you are being too simplistic and in the process display your own lack of understanding into this very complex issue.

How many Iraqis died because of Saddam Hussein’s policies? Now lets think about the Iran-Iraq war, the Shia uprising and the gassing of the Kurds – if you want to put a number on it I would say over 1000000.

So what were you saying?

Easter was …
Easter was celebrated March 23rd–before Jewish passover. The dates never properly align because the Christian and Judaic leadership use different calenders and neither adjusts appropriately to the equinox. Note: the Judaic calender’s beginning nearly overlaps the start of the Zodiac–star calender.

The equinox has been known for more than 3000 years. The sun is older than most modern religions. Jews love to forget the other meaning of “their” passover celebration: The harvest.

God Bless all of …
God Bless all of the Iraqi Christians. Chaldean Catholic Archbishop Paulos Faraj Rahho is now a Martyr for our faith.
Too bad Bush couldn’t comprehend what his misguided war would do to fellow Christians.

NOTE: I’m not …
NOTE: I’m not claiming easter is a “made up date” I’m stating that the romans moved the christian resurrection celebration to coincide with the vernal equinox (spring birth and fertility) celebration which is much, much more ancient.

Passover is always …
Passover is always with Easter, it will be April 25th (for the Greek orthodox) but this year is a leap year for the Catholics who have celebrated it early.

Passover and Easter …
Passover and Easter are connected, like i said, Jesus died on passover. So why are you claiming it is a made-up date?

Were talking about …
Were talking about Easter not Passover. I’m not arguing the passover date–if anything you are supporting my point.

It is extremely …
It is extremely ignorant for you to say otherwise. Ask yourself these 2 questions:

*How many Iraqis died from the result of terrorism in the saddam regime?
*How many Iraqis have died from the result of terrorism since the USA took over the country?

Conclusion; like it or not Iraq was WAY better off with saddam.
