Are you satisfied with the American and Allie death toll in Iraq?  It is only Nov 6th and already 18 soldiers?

Hell No !!  I am not satisfied with the number of deaths since the war began. I think of them as people with loved ones, and lives cut off fighting over GOP greed, and need for power. It is a tragedy. Our country has not done justice for it's Veteran's, or their families. This is a senseless war. Every life counts. Bush should sober us his daughters and send them, and Cheney's daughter should strap on an m-16.  If people really support this obscene war...they should send their kids.

As an American living in Vietnam see this war is a tragic mistake, we are mired down in a quagmire, much worse than in the Vietnam War. You should see the poor people here with legs and arms missing begging on the street. Total Vietnamese killed about 300,000 no idea how many wounded. Our brave shoulders 55,000 and how many wounded. In Iraq they estimate 650,000 dead. For our brave 2,200 plus young boys that have died for a lost cause, hope Bush and his cronies sleep well.  America has a civil war going,  feel It's time the leadership of this country admit to their blunder, and lets go home.

We will lose the war. ( How many Iraqi people did 9-11?) This is the truth. Shot and killed one day. News for one day. Buried in 4 days. Forgotten forever. Troops!! You are dying for nothing.

Yes. Octobers U.S. death toll was the highest yet. Our troops continue to die in a battle that can't be won. When all the Iraq people are dead, maybe then our troops can come home.

It's a Civil War and has been declared one by the Iraqi Defense Minister!\n\nActually the "Official" death toll for Iraqi's for those for the past 4 1/2 months is  10,538!  Iraq claims it is lower, though the actual figures show it to be higher. The insurgents, who are Iraqi's, are increasingly targeting women!\n\nI don't have a clue how anyone can claim it is anything other than a civil war as more innocent Iraqi's are dying in 1 day than Americans in 1 month! We claim it is a war! And if it isn't, just what the hell is it?\n\nhttp://uk.news.yahoo.com/hot/i/iraq.html

Is this family heartbroken? \nSomewhere in Iraq, a family sits down to a Id al-Fitr dinner. The weather is warm, Dad has been busy cooking. People exchange cards and give food and money to the needy. Children wear new clothes, girls decorate their feet and hands with henna, and families and friends exchange visits All are seated. They take each others’ hands as they worry when the next air strike might occur, bounded in a circle of love. The father looks so much older now even though it’s been just a year since they last observed this day devoted to Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son Issac. The  dark circles surround his eyes, his wrinkles are deeper and their is obviously more gray in his hair. His shoulders almost seem bent down from some inner burden. \nHe looks around the table at his lovely family. Each looks sadly at the empty chair missing their loved ones who died in a war that was illegal and unjust. 9-year-old Eman Walid tells story about when the Marines burst into the home where most of her terrified family--including her mother, grandfather, grandmother, two brothers, two aunts and two uncles--was huddled together in the living room in their nightclothes.“First, they went into my father’s room, where he was reading the Koran,” she said, “and we heard shots.” Then, she said, the soldiers came back into the living room. “I couldn’t see their faces very well--only their guns sticking into the doorway. I watched them shoot my grandfather, first in the chest and then in the head. Then they killed my granny.” The Marines, she says, began firing into the corner of the room while the adults tried to shield her and her 8-year-old brother. Seven adults were killed, her brother was shot in the shoulder, and she suffered a shrapnel wound to her leg. “We were lying there, bleeding, and it hurt so much,” she says. “Afterward, some Iraqi soldiers came. They carried us in their arms. I was crying, shouting, ‘Why did you do this to our family?’ And one Iraqi soldier tells me, ‘We didn’t do it. The Americans did.’” In this day of remembering loved ones, we will love them forever...

Yes, I do think that the troops have died fro nothing and Bush is still sending people to their deaths just to save his pride. If this is such an awesome effort and noble cause, why doesn't he send his little daughters out there? Douchebag.

Yes. Hmmm... I wonder why immigration is suddenly such a big deal and the war is on page 6A??? Could it be an election year? Anyway, yeah it makes me sad, but it is also sad that no one ever asks how many Iraqi civillians have died.

I am sorry for the above answer - while we know that things are difficult over there, it is difficult for us to remember the Iraqis when we have troops so far away from home getting injured or killed. Our government has already spent a significant amount of money, and I am certain that a portion of that money includes support for the Iraqi citizens.\n\nPLEASE do not take the above answer as the opinion of every U.S. Citizen!

Who's doing all the killing? It certainly isn't the soldiers of the U.S. It is the Islamic factions who can't get along with each other. I would pull the troops out and let them kill each other. We're not going to change their way of thinking with our troops in harms way. One American son is worth more than any legion of fanatic, uneducated, blind people.

my guy came back alive and for that i am thankful.  he is set to redeploy again.  they planted trees on his base for the fallen soldiers from their platoon and it was sad to see the kids out there not wanting to leave those trees because they wanted to be with their parents.  my guy cried like a baby.  yes it is time to pull out and bring them home, for moral reasons not for political.

I have alot of respect for the people we have out in Iraq.  They understand loyalty to their country.  They have their own opinions about where they are whether they agree or disagree with why they are out there, but THEY ARE OUT THERE!  Not us.  We don't see what they see every day.  We don't experience fear in a dangerous moment like they do EVERY DAY at ANY GIVEN MOMENT!  They stay loyal to their country and what it asks of them.  What would we do if they didn't?  What if the one's that disagreed just got up and sided with the enemy and said "Oh poor baby, here you go, I don't agree with Bush, I agree with you, don't worry about the soldiers your friends and family killed, don't worry that the terrorist groups in your country want to pull another 9-11, we shouldn't be here, we should just let you go on with your busness and continue to let these groups find ways to attack the USA".  Who would defend our country?  We would be weak.  They would know that they could easily come into our country and kill your family and friends.  They would have no problem just walking into your schools with a bomb and blowing themselves up just to go to heaven and kill another AMERICAN, the terrorists in that country would LOVE the opportunity to get ahold of anyone of us responding to this question and put us on film and behead us just for BEING AMERICAN!  REGARDLESS OF WHAT THAT AMERICAN FELT OR BELIEVED!  I fully support the dedication, commitment and most of all, the LOYALTY of EVERY SOLDIER out there in Iraq.  THANK YOU TO ALL AMERICAN SOLDIERS FOR YOUR SACRIFICES!!

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?

Yes\n2000 + People have died\n25000 + are injured\nand not to mention the money involved\nand ofcourse rumors that the white house is covering up the actual death toll (just like vietnam)\nand not to mention the number of civilian iraqi's that have died

The cartoons just added fuel to the fire. How would you feel if another country bombed and invaded your country? If you are an American, how did you feel after 9/11? That is how the majority of Iraqis feel now. Iraqis are angry at the Allies because of the death and destruction we've unleashed on their country - first with the sanctions, then with the invasion.

well as the gf of an Air Force man who has been overseas 6 times since Sept. 11th I still support this war and our men over there. We have never known what those poor men and women who were under the rule of a man who at anytime and for any reason will have you shot and killed or beat almost to death just to prove a point. That kind of hell needs to be stopped. And yes anyone that is over there will agree that they know why they are there and they dont want to leave those poor people over there to just let someone else just like the one we got out back into office so that we have to go back again in a few years.
