Innocent Deaths after US Killing of Soleimani

First Iraqis impacted by Iranian aggression said it; then Republicans like former governor Nikki Haley repeated the lie:
"Democrats are mourning Soleimani."

I tweeted back in the early hours of Friday, January 3:
We are not mourning Suleimani.  We are mourning the lives that will be lost because Trump used violence.  He did not use diplomacy.  He broke the Iran nuclear agreement.


My tweet earned 406 likes and 19 retweets.

Then dt tweeted, "When Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats want to defend Soleimani, that's a very bad thing for our country."  House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy echoed him.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had to say, "Democrats are not mourning Soleimani.  He was a bad man."

Today in her weekly press conference, she said, "We certainly do not respect, and I from my intelligence background know just how bad Soleimani was."  

She announced that the House would vote today on a war powers resolution limiting Trump's ability to act in Iran.

That resolution passed 224 in favor to 194 opposed.  Three Republicans and an Independent supported the resolution.

Meanwhile, the toll of innocent lives lost as a result of the Soleimani assassination rises to about 232 human lives:

~~56 or more in the stampede that occurred at Soleimani's burial

~~176 on the Ukrainian plane accidentally shot down by Iranian missiles a few hours after other missiles were sent to Iraqi airbases.  Those dead include 63 Canadians.

We mourn these innocents, not Soleimani.

dt is ultimately responsible for these deaths.  These 232 human beings would still be alive if he had not ordered the assassination of Qassem Soleimani.  

Note: there were actually 10 people killed in the strike on Soleimani.  One of them was the Iraqi politician and military leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.  He was an ally with Iran.  I don't include these ten in my total of innocent lives lost because they were military men and had killed people.
