Suspected??? When Russian military says someone is suspected then the said suspect is most probably innocent. They were constantly capturing and liquidating suspected 5 year old terrorists in Chechnya. Similiar way if US military kills innocent civilians the media report that alleged terrorist was killed. Otherwise Russians would have simply said they had captured ''a pirate vessel'', not ''a suspect pirate vessel''. Regards
Really? Hundreds of thousands of lives in Iraq and afghanistan? Where do you get this figure from? I suppose you would like to go back to the peace and calm of the clinton administration when over a million were died wouldn't you? There were probably 10x more dead under the clinton administration but I'm sure you conveniently forgot that detail didn't you?
Hi John_Wensink, It is hard to assess the exact number of death toll because many people are missing and many were burried in chaos without caring for statistics. Wikipedia can help you though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_casualties Depending on sources 100,000 (US source) - 1,000,000 (UK source) Iraqis were killed as a result of US invasion (since March 2003 till now). You can make a research and check Afghanistan. The number is several thousand civilians since 2001. If the UK source is right American and international military invasion resulted in 2.4 more people killed in Iraq and Afghanistan than the number of US citizens (soldiers and civilians) killed during World War II.
