>>How many Australians have been killed by North Koreans since the armistice?
How many Americans were killed by either side before the US entered either World War?
How many Americans were killed before the "Operation Fury" invasion of Grenada?
How many Americans did Saddam kill before the US led the world to push him out of Kuwait?
"False equivalence" is an exciting modern game that anybody can play.
While we're at it: how many Americans did Saddam kill with the WMD that justified going after him the second time in Iraq? Did he threaten to attack the US or Australia as NK has done?
How has the whole Iraq adventure panned out, bearing in mind that northern Kurds recently voted by referendum to secede from Iraq and now risk clashing with Iraqi government forces that (like the Kurds) were trained by the US. They're both considered allies against ISIL.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
