We were in VN for several years, and 55,000+ of our military was killed. 1960-1973 is "several years"? Wouldn't "over a decade" be more appropriate? How about "nearly 15 years"? Maybe we could agree on 13 years? We have been in Iraq for 2 1/2 years, and not quite 2,000 have been killed. 1960-1963, we topped off at 15,000 advisors in South Vietnam. I suspect our death rate Iraq is well ahead of Vietnam for the same corresponding period. As much as I HATE it that even one has been killed, because they volunteered, and I believe are the "best of the best", I thik it would be even worse if we leave before the Iraqi's can handle the job there. If they were drafted you wouldn't mind so much? ... The "best of the best" has been trading pictures of dead Iraqis for hardcore porn. Are you hoping for a date with one of these "best of the best"? Maybe when they retire from the military they can work with children. I notice that you don't mention any Iraqis dying. I think that's more than a subtle indication of your belief that "one" American death is more important than any number of dead Iraqis. Why is it the left NEVER talks about the terrorists who are in Iraq, and other places in the Middle East, and has any kind of suggestions as to how to deal with them? Golly Karen...have you forgotten the left mentioning that nearly all the 9/11 terrorists were from SAUDI ARABIA? Have you forgotten the left mentioning that Osama Bin Laden was from SAUDI ARABIA? Have you forgotten the left mentioning that the SAUDI ROYAL FAMILY continues to fund terrorism? Have you forgotten the left mentioning the schools in SAUDI ARABIA are teaching SAUDIS to hate Americans? Maybe you forgot that when you saw Bush walking through the flower garden holding hands of the SAUDI prince. Do you think there is the smallest chance that you might have forgotten what the left has said about dealing with terrorism? jttmab
