We lost more than that on the first day of the war.
3030 - Total deaths due to terrorist attacks on 9/11.
I'm glad as hell we are fighting those evil bastards over there and not in my back yard. I hope like anything it continues the way it is until the local have finally had their fill of it and put a stop to it. We started, and are continuing, to fight a war against terrorists. Not a war to win the territories of Iraq. Since the terrorists are willing to oblige us by fighting away from our children, wives and mothers I think the war on terror is being carried out in a successful manner.
Too many people loose track of the goal, they can't stay focused.
9/11 was not put on by Saddam, nobody thinks that. We invaded one country that was absolutely overrun with al Qaeda terrorists, and I'm glad. In Iraq, they had a small presence, but it probably pales in comparison to their presence in Canada. Their presence in Saddam-controlled Iraq was probably one percent of their presence in Pakistan today.
