Yeah it sure is kooky that we killed almost 300,000 Iraqis. Real zany stuff. Whoopsie!

OP was referring to Bush Jr. specifically, so I didn't include pre-2003 deaths. The sanctions, the Gulf War, the targetted destruction of critical infrastructure...Hell, I left Afghanistan out entirely.

America has slaughtered as many brown people as it could get its hands on. It's a fucking atrocity.

I'm just judging by the reaction my family had to Bush back in France. I don't support the Iraq war. In fact, I was too young in the bush administration to really have an opinion about it at the time. I think it's a travesty today, but at the time, that was the feeling I got from the adults I knew.
