When speaking in pure numerical terms, which I assume is what you're doing considering you continue to bring up the number itself, it statistically insignificant during a war.

So in reference to your point of bringing up the number 50, no, I don't really care; it doesn't mean much.




If you want to know whether or not I care about people, the answer is yet. Are they enough to change war policy? No.

The "war" was over years ago.

You don't care that about the lives of 50 innocent people?

Hmmmm... TOP TEN LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH:

Heart Disease – 28.5%

Malignant Neoplasm (Cancer) –22.8%

Cerebrovascular Diseases (Stroke) – 6.7%

Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease– 5.1%

Accidents (Unintentional) –4.4%

Diabetes Melitus– 3.0%

Influenza/Pneumonia –2.7%

Alzheimer’s– 2.4%

Nephritis(Liver Disease) – 1.7%

Septicemia – 1.4%

Another interesting statistic of note can be found in "Is US Health Really the Best in the World?", published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and written by Barbara Starfield, MD, MPH. In this paper Dr. Starfield gives the following statistics:

7,000 deaths occur each year due to medication errors in hospitals

12,000 deaths occur each year due to unnecessary surgery

20,000 deaths occur each year due to other hospital errors

80,000 deaths occur each year due to nosocomial infections in hospitals

106,000 deaths occur each year due to adverse effects to properly prescribed medications

This equals 225,000 deaths due to what are known as iatrogenic causes. This would place them as the third leading cause of death - just above cerebrovascular diseases at 162,672 deaths.

IN OTHER WORDS AMERICA HAS FAILED AND WE MUST ABANDON AMERICA! TOOMANY PEOPLE ARE DIEING ON THE STREET EACH DAY SO IT'S A FAILURE! FUCK THE FUCKING REPUBLICANS! IT'S ALL THEIR FAULT! DEMOCRATS ARE SUCH HOLY AND ANGELIC BEINGS THAT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS IT'S ALWAYS THE REPUBLICANS FAULT! IF A DEMOCRAT DID THE MOST HEINIOUS CRIMES IN FRONT OF 60 MILLION PEOPLE ON TV THEY'D BLAME IT ON THE REPUBLICANS!

DEMOCRATS CAN DO NO WRONG!

GET USED TO THE FUCKING IDEA!

NO MATTER WHAT CRIME IT'S ALWAYS THE REPUBLICANS' FAULT!
