Touch me. Touch me like you didn't touch me last night.

Most recent estimates say that between 38,000 and 42,000 Iraqi civilians have died in combat or combat-related events since the war began.

Most recent estimates say that nearly 2500 American soldiers have died in Iraq since the war began.

Neither of these statistics include the grievously wounded, maimed, or otherwise injured.

Does anybody see why I'm done arguing with people about Bush / Cheney / the war / the state of our nation / et cetera?

Because you can't change my mind and you can't change facts. I'm tired of explaining my views, and I'm tired of fighting with people. I'm just going to consider myself right and write off everybody else.

Feel like debating? Get a hobby.
