You know there are major differences in Iraq, versus the first Gulf War, Grenada, and the Balkans. I don't believe we lost a single soldier in the Balkans war, and had full NATO support. Grenada - I agreed with this. Students were in danger, and Reagan sent in the Marines to seize a small island with about 100 Cubans - hardly a big operation. Panama was in our backyard, and this was quick also. Gulf War I - 192 deaths I believe on our side. We had major support on that one, including Arab countries, and our other Allies. Iraq - this is much different than all above. A huge thing we have taken on here, and you know that we are doing almost all of it. 200 billion down, and over 1000 troops dead - 3 times that many wounded, most very serious. And this thing could drag on for years costing hundreds of billions more, and thousands more their lives. It was the wrong thing to do.
