And daily far more people get hit by buses or get murdered...at least these soldiers are helping another country and securing America's future. You cannot tell me that Saddam did any favors for that country, and you cannot possibly tell me that Iran and the Saudis and others in the region weren't influenced more than a little by our willingness to take Saddam down. What have we got to show for it? Far better hospital care in Iraq, basic services that are returning to pre-war levels, and the end of Saddam's security arm going out and rounding up tens or hundreds or thousands of people that have spoken out against the government or something and will be shot and buried in mass graves. For every Iraqi pissed off at the US because they had it better before the war, there are 2 or 3 thankful for what we've done because they had an aunt or a brother or a mother dragged off and shot in the dead of night.

Hahaha, the economy has gone down the drain...even the liberal media is admitting that the economy is showing signs of rapid development (GNP is booming, for instance) and the only trouble area will be the unemployment number, which will stay stagnant for another half year or so. If you wanna blame your gas prices on the war in Iraq, maybe you should start blaming cable prices on it too.
