the death ratio of Americans is an order of magnitude greater in Iraq than using your silly figures, What do you mean? 2,443 deaths is 2,443 deaths. How did you get some order of magnitude higher? have you no shame to compare accidental death to that which comes from deliberate, chosen violence Since the fall of Saddam the groups deliberately choosing violence over a peaceful means of governance are not the coalition troops. There is nothing accidental in blowing up mosques, killing Iraqi police and suicide car bombing UN missions - actions of the so called "insurgents". If you are upset with their behaviour, I agree with you completely. Don't get me wrong, I think it's well past time that coalition troops should have begun their withdrawal, but the number of coalition casualties in three years of activity in a "hostile" environment are fairly low.
