tell that to the famlies of the dead and wounded
and see if that comforts the famlies with sons and daughters yet to go to iraq.
What about the civilian casualties and there famlies who have died to help re build a countire ravaged by the War on there countrie. And for what...

Again, I agree with you whole heartedly.
This war is NOT about a military victory. It is about having a SECURE democracy flourishing in Iraq with the LEAST amount of casualties.
To say 800 plus deaths is "no more than an irritant" is to greatly demean the death of each American, or coalition soldier. Not to mention the THOUSANDS of innocent Iraqis that have died.
