Comments on: Terror: $20 million per hour http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/12/28/terror-20-million-per-hour/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Perhaps you meant to say "robot" since that seems to be your ideal. this sort of charged rhetoric is conduct unbecoming a skeptic.

Why don’t you try adding up all the civilian casualties from bombings by Al Qaeda in Iraq and its pals. You might be surprised at the results."

We did him a HUGE favor by invading Iraq. Barton: “You are assuming the US is doing all the killing.
