yustr's response proves my point. Milestones are important. You don't think every democrat up for election next year is going to bring this up in their campaign? Paul Hackett, an Iraq war vet is running for the U.S. senate in Ohio based on his opposition the war in Iraq and the death toll is a part of that.
I do not blame any liberals for any of the deaths in Iraq. Some would argue that liberal from Arkansas could have prevent all of this, but I digress. My point is, and I think that you can agree, that some liberals.... the way far left ones lke Dean and Moore are going to use this to their advantage.
Comparing Iraq to 9/11. In a post 9/11 world, we can no longer sit behind our oceans. Iraq is a rallying point for terrorists now?? GOOD! I would rather have the terrorists focusing on anything but the United States.
2000 soldiers dead is sad. Each one died fighting the terrorists abroad instead of at home and most would gladly volunteer again. I majored in U.S. history in college and try to look at things as if I were looking back at them historically and I am merely wondering how the death toll in Iraq will be perceived whenever Iraq, 9/11 and the Bush administration are in the past.
