First off you can't say they would be alive today? You don't know that. Saddam has killed or ordered the killing how many of his own countrymen. Not to mention, Iran and Kuwait. I've read the same report you read and I've also read the counters that the actual number is probably well under a 1/3 of the one you spouted. How many of the Iraqis killed has a weapon in their hand? Hmmm.. report doesn't say. How many were blown up trying to install IEDs? hmm.. \n\nSo, in the end you are saying you would be happied living under Saddam? Well, he will be living in hell........ nope i won't say it.

Personally, I don't think it's necessary... All we are fighting for is oil! We can't possibly be fighting to defend our country because IRAQ hasn't done anything. The only people hurting anyone is the Alkida(sp) terrorist and why would they be in Iraq??? Our soldiers are going in and killing innocent people why??? Not to mention the soldiers that are dying as we speak... I dunno... Its crazy!

Nobody needs to die by Napalm. That's one of the worst ways out in my opinion. We do enough damage to our targets with 2000lb guided bombs/missiles with out burning, asphyxiating, and roasting alive the civilians who aren't trying to kill Allied Troops in either Iraq or Afghanistan. \n\nCome on people...get real. Would you really like to see people getting cooked alive on the news? I've been to Iraq twice and I sure as heck don't wish to see people getting cooked alive.

We have had 47 Military killed this month alone in Iraq. Iraq is in the middle of a civil war we started and it isn't going to be over until we are kicked out, and we will be.\n\nRemember Vietnam?  I do. I was there. How many more would you like to lose in Iraq? Another 25,000?

I'm leaning in this direction too.  I think we should become more deadly and finish the fight before we rebuild Iraq's infrastructure.  Maybe build and fight was a useful tactic before the beehive burst.  We should let the Iraqi's rebuild and kill the fanatics first.  If we use our resources correctly, then cannot another country train the Iraqi army while we rampage?

I hear your comment, but not even the 3000 thousand that died in the towers equals the deaths from the American military. No death is valid as far as I am concerned. I really believe that America doesn't have the real story. An attack is a valid reason to sign a "Declaration of War," but the Bush Administration doesn't have one. I am concerned about this, as to it doesn't make any sense. Going into Iraq was unwarranted, and once again no "Declaration of War" was signed. This makes America appear to be just as much of a terrorist nation as the attackers. It's not proper etiquette to our Democracy and policies. The Republicans don't believe in Democracy, it is a Republic type of Government that America is being ruled by at the present. I don't agree with these types of policies and the rest of the World is also appalled by the Bush Administrations actions. All of this could lead to a larger Global War I am afraid. I say voting the Republicans out of office in November is Americas only choice at this point. I don't want to die for a small group of red-necks that stir up problems, and wont play a part in the military. My personal feelings that's all.

Exactly...this is another Vietnam...it might not be the same scale casualty wise (at least American casulaties. Iraqi deaths are right up there). It's ridiculous. We never should have been there. I don't think it's the military's fault that there isn't progress...I'm sure they're doing what they can but there is only so much you can do before you realize that things aren't going to get any better. Insurgents are nasty and they'll stop at nothing to kill someone. This war is going to be going on for a long time unless something changes and unfortunately we have to wait a couple more years before those changes can begin. We destroyed a country now we're going to have to pay for it ....probably for the rest of our lives. It's a sad situation with no real end. You still have people out there saying that it was good that we went in...we got Saddam...we didn't go in to get Saddam. We went in to get weapons and the only ones we've found are the ones we sold them years ago to fight Iran. Interesting how that works out isn't it?

iraq has way more death rate

Zero.\n\nThe democratically elected Iraqi government has requested that the U.S. stay to finish its job of making them strong enough to govern and defend their fledgling Republic.\n\nWe are there at the Iraqi's request.

I think there are something like 60 murders per day in America.  Is anyone saying we should pull out of here?\n\nAnd to all those that are saying "We DO count them", I think what the questioner is referring to is the constant total on the news each night.  I think we all know war stinks and people dying stinks and we probably all respect the fallen soldiers and their families.  The thing that gets tiresome is the constant reporting of the negative news from the war designed to inflame the "peace-at-all-costs" people by saying "I told you so" and the lack of reporting on the positive effects our servicemen are having in Iraq.\n\nWhile we DO count those that die in DUI's, it's not front-page news.

First of all, by saying 5, are you assuming there are already 4?  Is the mandate for proper military action 5 reasons?  Where do you find that rule?  Give me 5 reasons why Hitler should have been killed.  I can only think of a couple, but they are good enough.  Anyway, I could think of four, and these reasons should be adequate enough.  I'll give you five when you can give me five good reasons for even asking this question.  Fair enough?\n1) Several intel. agencies said Saddam had WMD's (not just ours).  Even though that intel. was a failure, Russia, your beloved U.N., Germany and France all knew he had them.  To NOT take military action (especially in the wake of 9/11) would have been an impeachable offense.  He used them on the Kurdish people, who says he wouldn't have used them again.  Hindsight is always 20/20.\n2) The mass graves.  Hundreds of thousands of bodies have been uncovered.  It is known that Saddam would throw people alive into woodchippers.  This was a sick bastard.  If you have any concern for human rights, you would take pleasure in our actions of dethroning this scumbag.\n3) The Iraqi military still needs further training before they can stand on their own two feet.  If we leave now, permanent chaos would ensue and every American death will have been in vain.  We must make sure this succeeds.\n4) A free Iraq is important to the peace and freedom of the Middle East.  An Iraq without Saddam is a Middle East with one less totalitarian dictator.  How is that worse than before?  It is not.  To say that this war is useless is basically to say that it would be great to put Saddam back into power.  Should we do that?\nPerhaps nobody heard the soundclip of the Iraqi woman at the voting booth (which is, in itself AMAZING and wonderful!) tell the media, "Praise God for America and for George Bush.  And if you don't appreciate what he has done, you can go to Hell!"\nOH WAIT -- HERE'S A 5TH: 17 broken U.N. resolutions.  17!

Iraqis are too busy killing each other, and once we leave that is the only people they will be killing. It's called civil war folks. You can sanitise it with pretty words all you want, they just found 24 dead bodies hung up today alone. Blood in the steets sounds very enjoyable, dirt.

Less than those who die in Iraq
