Sorry I did not see the press conference with Bush.  I am a Canadian, and I try not to watch political things from the US (perhaps I should start!).  But I think that it is TOTAL BS that he isn't going to bring your troops home.  I know that the are proud to fight for their country, and for what they believe in, but I think that it is about time that they start pulling out.  I know that Canadian troops have gone in and started taking over for the US troops in some areas (but then again Canada is a peace keeping nation and the US is an a** kicking nation! lol) ... I don't know what to think, but those are my feelings.  My prayers are with you and your family, (and for you hubby and all the troops that are involved in this war) God Bless

As far as I know........2000 and counting in deaths for the American.  Afghanistan I have no idea.  Most people die from road side bombings.  their injuries range from dismemberment to severe burns.

Got this e-mail today.  This is a good read - funny how it took someone in England to put it into words...\n\nSunday Telegraph Article\nFrom today's UK wires: Salute to a brave and modest nation\nKevin Myers, The Sunday Telegraph\n\n    LONDON - Until the deaths last week of four Canadian soldiers accidentally killed by a U.S. warplane in Afghanistan, probably almost no one outside their home country had been aware that Canadian troops were deployed in the region.  And as always, Canada will now bury its dead, just as the rest of the world as always will forget its sacrifice, just as it always forgets nearly everything Canada ever does.\n\n    It seems that Canada's historic mission is to come to the selfless aid both of its friends and of complete strangers, and then, once the crisis is over, to be well and truly ignored. Canada is the perpetual wallflower that stands on the edge of the hall, waiting for someone to come and ask her for a dance. A fire breaks out, she risks life and limb to rescue her fellow dance-goers, and suffers serious injuries.  But when the hall is repaired and the dancing resumes, there is Canada, the wallflower still, while those she once helped glamorously cavort across the floor, blithely neglecting her yet again.\n \n    That is the price Canada pays for sharing the North American continent with the United States, and for being a selfless friend of Britain in two global conflicts. For much of the 20th century, Canada was torn in two different directions: It seemed to be a part of the old world, yet had an  address in the new one, and that divided identity ensured that it never fully got the gratitude it deserved.\n \n    Yet its purely voluntary contribution to the cause of freedom in two world wars was perhaps the greatest of any democracy. Almost 10% of Canada's entire population of seven million people served in the armed forces during the First World War, and nearly 60,000 died. The great Allied victories of 1918 were spearheaded by Canadian troops, perhaps the most capable soldiers in the entire British order of battle.\n \n    Canada was repaid for its enormous sacrifice by downright neglect, its unique contribution to victory being absorbed into the popular Memory as somehow or other the work of the "British." \n\n     The Second World War provided a re-run. The Canadian navy began the war with a half dozen vessels, and ended up policing nearly half of the Atlantic against U-boat attack. More than 120 Canadian warships participated in the Normandy landings, during which 15,000 Canadian soldiers went ashore on D-Day alone. Canada finished the war with the third-largest navy and  the fourth-largest air force in the world.\n\n    The world thanked Canada with the same sublime indifference as it had the previous time. Canadian participation in the war was acknowledged in film only if it was necessary to give an American actor a part in a campaign in which the United States had clearly not participated - a touching scrupulousness which, of ourse, Hollywood has since abandoned, as it has any notion of a separate Canadian identity.\n\n    So it is a general rule that actors and filmmakers arriving in Hollywood keep their nationality - unless, that is, they are Canadian. Thus Mary Pickford, Walter Huston, Donald Sutherland, Michael J. Fox, William Shatner, Norman Jewison, David Cronenberg, Alex Trebek, Art Linkletter and Dan Aykroyd have in the popular perception become American, and Christopher Plummer, British. It is as if, in the very act of becoming famous, a Canadian ceases to be Canadian, unless she is Margaret Atwood, who is as unshakably Canadian as a moose, or Celine Dion, for whom Canada has proved quite unable to find any takers.\n\n    Moreover, Canada is every bit as querulously alert to the achievements of its sons and daughters as the rest of the world is completely unaware of them. The Canadians proudly say of themselves - and are unheard by anyone else - that 1

Possibly the Battle of Cannae. If so, the sourced website lists only 48000 killed, but there were 55000 troops total.

Hello, Canada!  Have you forgotten all the troops we prematurely pulled out of Afghanistan and sent into Iraq? Tell you what. Why don't some of you nice Canadian boys step up and take some of the load in Iraq, and then we can send some of our guys back into Afghanistan to finish that little job, or haven't you heard? Since we had to cover two fronts without much help from our northern buddies, we kind of let the Taliban regroup, so now we've got to go back and knock 'em back down again.  Who knows? Maybe second time's a charm and we'll get old bin Ladin this go round, eh?\n\nUpdate:  For those of you apparently residing on a different planet, here's a link to yesterday's news out of Afghanistan (excuse me, this ABC report was filed on June 20.) This is the ABC Blog site.\n\nhttp://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2006/06/us_back_at_full.html

In the 1991 war, 382 died and 467 were wounded in some fashion.\n\nIn the 2003 war and the following occupation, 2,325 died and 17,467 were wounded in some fashion.\n\n\nThat's not bad at all.

1335 deaths is a .01% fatality rate. There have been roughly 2,500 deaths in Iraq among 133,000 troops, coming to a 1.8% fatality rate, 18,000% higher.\n\nEdit: Even if you assume that all 130,000 troops are recycled every year, the fatality rate is still 0.64%, 6,400% higher than the traffic fatality rate.

Canada has refused to send troops to Iraq (for many reasons). Canada also has many immigrants from the middle east. Canadians are ususally not as endangered in foreign countries because they have not been involved in a war since WW2, so Americans passing as Canadians think they are safer.

Yes.  \n\nWe have a commitment until at least 2009 to be out there, and we, the Canadian Forces, intend to see this through.  \n\nWe first went to assist in toppling the Taliban regime.  But on our second series of deployments, we went over to pacify the country so that the rule of law can be established.  \n\nSave for a very small portion of the country, there is only the law of the gun in place.  We are there to make sure that the rule of law, the authority of the government in Kabul, is established.  There are millions of Afghans who live in the Middle-Ages, always fearing for their lives, with uncertain water and doubtful food, being all but enslaved by warlords and opium barons.  \n\nWe went over there to rebuild Afghanistan, to bring them into the modern days.  \n\nYes, we first went in with te Americans, but in the south, around Kandahar, it's primarily us, the Brits and the Dutch who are fighting under NATO's authority, not the Americans'.  We are honouring our commitments to larger organizations.\n\nAs for the death toll, do not believe for one second that I do not mourn their losses.  I might have never met any of our dead, but they are one of ours.  They are fellow Canadian soldiers who have given their lives in the line of duty.

Canada has been with the US in Afghanistan from the start.\nHere is a chronology:\nhttp://www.cbc.ca/news/background/afghanistan/timeline.html\n\nI suspect some people who comment on the news, like President Bush, don't actually read the news.  I have noticed articles about Canadian troops all along.

There aren't car bombs going off and US servicemen paying the ultimate sacrifice every day in Afghanistan. Bad news sells. Plus, even the liberal media knows Afghanistan was necessary, they just don't see Iraq in the same light.

The United States is in Iraq, having invaded and now involved with the occupation of that country. Canada is in Afghanistan fighting the Taliban. So with both Countries Armed forces oversees The answer is technically neither U.S.A or Canada is peaceful at this time. at least with other Nations
