In case you haven't noticed, Todd Beamer's dead. Yeah, he went out a hero and took his murderers down with him, but he's still dead, and never had a CHANCE to get out of his predicament alive.
That MIGHT be acceptable to you, but not to me. Sometimes the best defense is a good offense. Right now, the terrorists are caught in between two bad options. They CANNOT allow the liberation of Iraq to stand, but if they go it Iraq and take on our troops, they have little chance of coming out of that encounter alive.
Every terrorist our troops kill in Iraq is a terrorist that cannot kill innocent Americans here or abroad. Do we lose troops? Yeah, and while I hate that, I hate what happened on 9/11 a lot more.

And something that folks like John never seem to get is that an incredibly large majority of the volunteers (dodging bullets, suffering from heat exhaustion, and putting up with a petty media) over in Iraq share this exact same feeling.
