It never ceases to amaze me how so many value an american life over that of any other nationality. When CRedskinsRule discusses the actual gains in Iraq and how our losses could not be viewed as "a complete waste" and that our soldiers did not "die for no reason," it's because he's speaking to the greater good of righting wrongs. I can understand that crowd that rails when they see flag covered coffins but I really believe there is a majority that is simply missing the point. Hussein and his party were violating every single human right. Exterminating mass quantities of human beings. But because those were not americans dying everyday, the sacrifice made by our servicemembers was without merit? REALLY? Time to grow up and work on your world view. It's not all about north america.
