"How about a little perspective. Lets show the coffins of all Americans who have died within the last couple of weeks from accidents and foul play. The military loses would make up a miniscule corner of the total. People die every day; they die while driving to work, and while at work. Yes, we honor our soldiers for dedication, but are our firemen, police officer, construction workers, or parents on their way to pick up their kids, any less dedicated? For all we know our troops are actually safer while fighting this war then they would be at home."

It's the same with Irish peacekeepers out in Lebanon, as far as I know more have died through accidents, than through military action.

While I don't think the media is going overboard with the coffins yet, your point is correct -- let's not stop driving cars and let's not stop fighting the terrorists.

If I may add to your point, let's show videos of live abortions. At least in that case, we'll be helping to illustrate something that is clearly wrong.
