Interesting contrast; Stats Vs. real flesh-and-bone reality. Stats are just that. Stats. cold; Impersonal. Try that justification with each and every family of each serviceman that died in Irak. then try that with all family members of the more than half a Million Iraki civilians killed.. Then follow through with explaining to all those folks how the world is now a muuuuch safer place as a result.....
but oops; I just realized I'm highjacking this thread; it's only about money, isn't it...
