Honestly I don't care really much how many USA soldiers die...I think is more worse if you know the number of innocent
citizens that die in Iraq.

Ok of course it is hard if your friend,brother, son dies when he is on a mission in IRAG but hey you don't go into the army if you are scared of being shot.

While I think it is more worse that sending your children to school in Iraq is almost even dangerous as being a militair in Iraq.

Wars just shouldn't be in existence.
Deaths of innocent civilians and soldiers shouldn't exist.
Tyranny and dictatorships shouldn't exist.

And....
Foreign countries continuously participating in wars in the name of peace should be applauded but at the same time be checked for benefits they may be interested other than peace.

We can't leave Iraq now. Should we have had left earlier? Probably, but there has to be some stability for the nation. I'm convinced some politicians just want this to be another Vietnam.

Being there too long though is a problem. My cousin is on his third tour over there. I hate seeing that because he's a young married man who should be spending time with his wife, but thats not how it is. How thinly stretched our troops are is a huge problem, no denying that one.

And seriously, Saddam was gonna get overthrown, it just depended on who the President was. He had enough UN sanctions against him, no one else wanted to deal with it. The rest of the world wanted it to happen even if they won't admit it.

And there for the cheap oil idea, yeah, I'm really feeling the cheap oil right now...

Yeah. The real problem won't be deaths... it'll be the big problems with when the soldiers get back. Experts I know in the post traumatic distress disorder think the people with mental problems from Iraq will far exceed that of even vietnam.

Good thing the Vet healtcare system has gotten really good at doing a lot more with a lot less funding.

Hah, reminds me of when I was watching C-Span one time... and a democratic senator was greatly argueing with the head of the VA that he wasn't asking for enough money for something he wanted to do.  Argueing he should do all sorts of research and such...

That was an odd moment.

Back with the VA thing, body armor has improved greatly, but now the focus is on head related injuries. This war has opened up a whole new perspective into head trauma. As unfortunate as the circumstances are.

 ...right. And while we're at it I want to say that I don't want and the color pink to exist.

It's not like world leaders love war, its just how things are settled. They will never cease to exist. You might as well say you want the sun to glow black.

 Exactly, war is in human nature.  There has always been war, there always will be.  Just hope no one side gets dumb enough to use biological and/or nuclear weapons.

  Today the 4000th American soldier died according to the Pentagon


Doesn't sound really much safer...

By saying war shouldn't exist I'm just wishing. I am aware of it.
I am also aware that peace using force is also a great antithesis.

There's one life to live and plenty of love to give.
