Its interesting in light of the draft discussion going on in the general discussion forum. The fact that most Americans don't have to worry about having to fight a war (or worry about one of their loved ones having to fight a war) isolates most of us from its consequences enough. We should at least see the consequences of it, lest we become totally separated from the real losses of the war.
Maybe Americans should have to watch Iraqis burying their dead too.
Not that I think it'll make that much of a difference. Few news outlets will report on it once the novelty has worn off, and most Americans will change the channel.
