For too many of the posters in this forum,
ad hominem name calling is the maximum of their intellectual ability.

Please provide a link to verify that US troops killed 134,000 Iraqi civilians.

We know they had no remaining WMD programs, which they had certainly had before, only because we invaded. The "too terrible to contemplate" was about nuclear or biological weapons, not chemical weapons, in Saddam Hussein's hands.

Hans Blix was not given enough time. Hussein had no WMDs, we were taken to war on a lie. Why do you think chemical weapons are OK?

You had stated that we had treated the Iranians unfairly because they had no connection to 9/11 and I stated that we did nothing to the Iranians in response to 9/11.

Try telling that to the thousands of Iranians who have died from lack of medicine.

The number is baloney.

Please specify exactly what lie we were taken to war based on.

All you're doing is making me clarify over and over what the meaning of my words was, which is a game people play when their central argument is indefensible.

In 642, Alexandria was captured by the Muslim army of Amr ibn al `Aas. There are five Arabic sources which mention the fate of the library.

Abu'l Faraj translated extracts from the history of Bar-Hebraeus - the Chronicum Syriacum into Arabic, and added extra material from Arab sources. In this Historia Compendiosa Dynastiarum he describes a certain "John Grammaticus" (490–570) asking Amr for the "books in the royal library." Amr writes to Omar for instructions, and Omar replies: "If those books are in agreement with the Quran, we have no need of them; and if these are opposed to the Quran, destroy them."

Ibn Khaldun (1332–1406) tells that Omar made a similar order about Persian books.

During the Caliphate of Omar, many Libraries were burned down in many places because they could have material that was contradictory to the Koran.

Muslims, throughout their History, have destroyed many works of Arts because they were against the principles of Islam which forbids depicting humans etc., Libraries and even Colleges because they could be repositories of Knowledge that could contradict their Koran.

Remember that it was the Muslims who destroyed the Giant Statues of Buddha in Bamiyan. Muslims who want to destroy the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx etc in Egypt. These are the kind of people who are immigrating here and growing in our midst today.

You could pick any source you like on that one, Poop, the thing about Omar and the Library at Alexandria is common knowledge and an easy Google search, upwards of 14,000,000 hits.

So the other sources, especially Socrates of Constantinople, saying that it was destroyed by Patriarch Theophilus of Alexandria/Emperor Theodosius I in 391 are incorrect you say.

giving the Ottomans quite an advantage.

So you consider Socrates of Constantinople's Historia Ecclesiastica to be bullshit.

You're right there, exact records of Iraqi civilians killed were not kept, so the real figure is probably considerably higher.

Fascinating analysis ...

giving the Ottomans quite an advantage.

They had quite an advantage in the Armenian genocide.

When Bill Buckley died the voices of conservatives lost half their collective intelligence.
