2) Once again, in every modern war that I've followed, the tendency is to overestimate the number of casualties on our side. Desert Storm I, Kosovo, Afghanistan, it's deja vu all over again. Based on this alone, I expect American casualties to be light once again. It's very dangerous to think that a past outcome is necessarily a good predictor of new events. I could point out for example that, while you are correct that few Ameicans died on DS, thousands of Iraqis did. The net is that war should be a last resort. Frankly a large measure of the world population feels this way too. If we can contain, we should and if we can resolve without loss of life (on both sides), we should. We can this time. I know it. Al
