SparHawk,
According to the link in your signature, some 446 US servicemen have lost their lives in Iraq since the war began.

Now kindly allow me put things in perspective for you.

An average of 15 soldiers died every day during the Vietnam war.

An average of 30 soldiers died every day during the Korean war.

An average of 214 soldiers died every day during World War II.

410 US soldiers were killed when U.S. gunners in Sicily mistakenly downed 23 American transport planes in 1943.

243 US soldiers were killed when terrorists bombed the Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983.

There were 474 people murdered in Los Angeles in 2002, and there have never been "major combat operations" there.

This military campaign in Iraq has been the most successful ever waged by any military. Please, don't act too disappointed.
