I disagree with everybody who says it doesn't matter what the Iraqi casulties are. It is true that this is war, and in war soldiers die, but we should never allow the objectives of war (in this case, freeing a people from an evil dictator, ridding the world of a terroist base, etc. ) to overide our basic humanity. All human death in war deserves some measure of ...(what?) understanding. Although I am lothe to recommend anything from Hollyweird, "Three Kings" points this out pretty well. Not all dead Iraqis are evil Bathists (in fact, I suspect most aren't. If Saddam is any example, they're a bunch of cowards). Many were just young men looking for a job; unfortunately, they were born on the wrong side of the planet.
