Since the only gage that the left has for success in Iraq is how many have died in the cause, now approaching 4,000 or so, which in itself is phenomenally small considering how many troops we’ve had over there five years, let’s do a little comparison. Below are a list of deaths from both war and regimes.

1. Under Mao Se Tung from 1949 to 1975 an estimated 27 to 72 million perished.

2. Under Hitler from 1933 to 1945, 15-25 million.

3. Under Japan from 1930 to 1945, approximately 30 million.

4. Under the Arab slave trade 6-21 million from the 3rd to the 21st Century.

5. During WWII, 30-60 million.

6. Vietnam between 1954 and 1975, 2-5 million.

7. Abortions since Roe v. Wade, approximately 35 million babies.

The above deaths were due in part or whole to socialist, communistic or pure leftist ideology.

Just to keep it real for the left.

UPDATE: More perspective at AJ Strata.

Here are some more statistics:

Since 2003, 6 million Americans died from various causes, unknown how many were liberals, but being that science has connected a negative pessimistic attitude to premature death I would say it’s in the majority.

UPDATE II: More liberal celebration of the dead here.
