I love the "no blood for oil" message. Oil is such an important factor of production, which is in turn such a major component of GDP that we cannot afford to let oil prices fluctuate much. The investment of human lives in Iraq averts increasing suicide and crime that coincides with increases in unemployment(which is caused by oil price shocks).
It is sad that people die, but do we cry when anybody else does their job? Nobody was drafted. We're talking about volunteers of one kind or another that decided that government jobs was the way to go. Everybody who joins the military recognizes that you may be required to go to war, and that people die in war.
Preparing to be flamed....

PS-The little flash animation thingy was quite creative. I wonder if the cranberrys will sue...
