You have left out many other things it really might be- for example: horror at the waste of life for a "perceived" stupid reason mounting evidence of a failed policy that is wasting the lives of our people etc As someone who most probably agrees with those people- that is my reaction to those numbers. Every time I see the kill rates, I think of the mothers who have no son or daughter now, because of Bush's stupid move. I have seen no evidence that people are cheering the deaths- and based on what I've seen of those body count posts, your perceptions are way off on this one. You can claim to perceive anything you want- but the proof of the rationality of your perception is in the stimulus to your perception.

Yeah, well, I followed the runup to W's war in Iraq quite closely on FADG, and my perception is that most of the people who liked W couldn't wait for it to happen. "Glee" wouldn't be too strong a word for the reaction when it finally started. I used to call people on it occasionally, and I'd get this blather back about how "nobody likes war", but this was going to be a really cool one. So now, it's what, 20 months or so since W's mission was catastrophically accomplished, and where are we? The line I get from W's legions of fans is that things are going really well there; that line, at least, has been remarkably consistent.
