knife, you arent going to waste any more emotion on other peoples kids? well i hope no one you know ever has a child that gets sent over to iraq.
but as long as it isnt your kid who cares right? here are some sacrifical numbers for you with a link following. only 10,000 wounded and 1,334 dead, but you only care about your children right?
American forces suffered over 10,000 wounded in action [WIA] no later than early on the morning of 22 December 2004. The Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) US Casualty Status report of Tuesday 21 December 2004 indicated that as of 1000 a.m. EDT [600 pm Baghdad time] there had been a total of 9,981 American service members wounded in action. These figures are updated weekly on Tuesday. Twenty-two people were killed and 72 others wounded following an explosion in a dining facility at Forward Operating Base Marez in southwest Mosul on 21 December 2004. It is not clear whether these casualties were reflected in this report. If they were not, then this single event pushed the WIA number well over the 10,000 mark. In any event, for the month of December, the casualty rate was running at somewhat less than one casualty an hour. Consequently, no later than hours of the following midnite, in the early morning hours of Wednesday 22 December 2004, the 10,000th wounded in action casualty was suffered by American forces.

oh, and i must be pmsing to get so carried away. |
i'm well aware of the numbers, hb...but the American public essentially gave their blessing to this fiasco on Nov. 2nd by returning Bush to office. therefore, i can assume that the majority of voters are comfortable with this sacrifice and find it an acceptable price to pay for Bush's Big Adventure. i don't, but clearly, i'm in the minority. so be it.
as for your menstrual cycle, i'm not really clear how that's relevant here. feel free not to elaborate
