Re:It's hardly even a "war" (for us) (Score 2, Insightful)

I understand your point, but it's either a war or it's not. Sure, body counts for U.S. and coalition troops are relatively low compared to some of the incredibly bloody wars of our past. But, most counts of Iraqi civilian & military deaths put the numbers in excess of 150,000. That seems significant to me. Some tallies put it MUCH higher. I bet it seems like a real-life war if you're an Iraqi.

Also, I'd be willing to bet that the family members of the soldiers who have fallen in the current Iraq war might disagree with your "hardly even a war" assessment.
