Are you saying that 2,000 dead isn't a big deal? Are your seriously trying to make it seem like 2,000 dead US soldiers isn't a big deal?

Your a fucking idiot.[/quote:58db6]

And you're overemotionalizing the situation, appealing to emotional rhetoric instead of logic to push your case. 1600 SOLDIERS (those guys who enlist in the military with the assumption that at anytime they can be called into combat - yanno THOSE guys) have died over nearly THREE YEARS, the majority of which comes from suicide/roadside bombs. Now, the media would absolutely LOVE you to think this is indicitive of a faulty war-plan. It doesnt take much for indeginous people to get close enough and detonate themselves. No amount of training can give someone ESP.

But by all means - cling to this number as sweet justification of your "rightness".

And NINTY - you can HONESTLY ask what good a changed Middle East will bring. Please - go ask RAWA or the women newscasters in Afghanistan what opportunities a middle-east free of theological tyranny can bring about. Women are back on the tubes, and are at MINIMUM represented in congress by 1 to 4. Yea - no progress there. Empty rhetoric that. Returning the middle east back into the hands of the people is something that will benefit the entire world - but most especially arabs themselves.

Please son dont confuse your inability to "get it" with a perceived ignorance on the part of your betters.
