Loyal Americans, and there are whole bunch of them, feel personally attacked whenever a serviceman is hurt in Iraq.It is considered a direct attack upon our way of life. <<And this is an exclusive American feeling, I suppose.>> Not at all, but the difference is this. We have a way to express it while a country without a government or band of terrorists does not. We provide the best weapons and training, funds that are needed, plans to minimize casualties and so on. <<The rest of the world doesn't mind if their compatriots get shattered in pieces by US guns.>> Some countries like Kuwait, Iran, Turkey or the Kurds could actually be enjoying the elimination of the Baathish party or Saddam supporters. So its not a universal feeling. Their leaders can still dislike out presence in the region and can blame just about any internal problems on that whether the problems stem from our presence or not.
