Statistics

"But just to make it simple: The G-7 comprises the world's major industrial democracies. Aside from America, there are six other countries. Three - the United Kingdom, Italy and Japan - have troops in Iraq. Three - France, Germany and Canada - do not. So a majority of G-7 nations are members of this ''fraudulent coalition.'' Eleven of the 19 NATO members have contributed troops to the ''fraudulent coalition.'' Thirteen of the 25 members of the newly enlarged European Union have forces serving in the ''fraudulent coalition.'' "

Ah, the numbers of it all. Though Mark Twain once said that there were three kinds of lies, and that they were "lies, damn lies, and statistics." This is also quite true.
