We hung around long enough in Germany and Japan to make sure that the sacrifices of our servicemen and woman were not rendered meaningless.

And 30,000 troops died in Korea during 2 1/2 years while Truman was president. That's 10 times as many as have died in Iraq under Bush.

34,000 Americans gave their lives for Korean freedom.

We are far from the total numbers of Americans killed in Vietnam, Korea, or WWII.

More Americans died on D-Day than in the last 3 years and 10 months of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

At the rate we are going in Iraq, it would take another 75 years to get to the number of combat deaths in Vietnam.

So do you think Iraqis will ultimately be more or less viciously anti-American than the South Koreans are today? Or will they be staunch allies like the French, whose freedom was also purchased with American blood?
