American's as a whole are fighting the war, not just GOP senators or the Bush family. A few thousand US troops being killed is really a miniscule percentage of war-time losses when looking at the grand-scale objectives at hand. As I remember only one person voted against allowing Bush to use force as a response to 9/11. This included Republicans, Dems and Indies.
The only issue I have with the Iraqi conflict is that we declared open warfare over way too quickly in order to start the gravy train for GOP corporate supporters before the last election started. Soldiers are dying everyday while serving as private security guards for Haliburton (etc) goods and services. I think we could still use a little more bombing and shooting and a little less 'democracy-spreading' if you ask me.
