"You must have me mistaken for someone who believes 300,000 fallujah lives are worth a single American soldier's life."

Do you really believe what you said there? I think that thought process is insane . . . but sadly, typical of the American far right. Falluja was a city with every kind of innocent person living in it. As well, the insurgents are IRAQIS who have the right to defend their country. If a bunch of Iraqi yahoos landed in your town, I bet you would turn into an "insurgent" immediately. Then when they killed your baby, would you think your baby's life was worth nothing? No, you would fight even harder. And that is why we are not winning in Iraq.

As Christopher Matthews said, how many Iraqis will we have to kill before they understand we are trying to help them?
