Are you any braver, sitting behind a computer posting pro-war comments?
For that matter, the Gulf War was described by US troops as "a turkey shoot." Most US causalties were from traffic accidents. And I don't think this one will be any different. So you know what -- Bill Maher was right. US troops may be brave, but courage won't be a requirement for the upcoming turkey shoot.
However, it will set a dangerous precedent -- yet another step eroding national sovereignty. If we don't respect Iraqi sovereignty, why should anyone respect ours, other than that we can bully everyone for the moment? (Not that the Bushies care about US sovereignty.)
