Talk:Heide's Op-ed

2077 + 100,000+ ....
'''Finally, there is a national awakening taking place. An ever-increasing majority recognizes that the Iraq war--an unprovoked, needless and illegal invasion that has turned into a brutal occupation--is a moral and political failure that cannot be reversed. For the families of the 2077+ dead and over 15,470 wounded, it is life-long heartbreak. For the Iraqi people, it is a national disaster. It must end..''

I would replace the sentence that is in bold with:

For the families of the 100,000+ Iraqi people, it is both a life-long heartbreak and a national disaster.

If we are going to include the figures of the dead, it is important that we include the figures of the Iraqi dead too? Semantics are important.
