To take the context into account 40,000 Americans die in auto accidents each year. We've suffered 700 casualties after a year in Iraq. It would take four years to even approach the total number of people murdered on 9/11. Its so easy to lose sight of the big picture and what is at stake what you recite the number of dead to date in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

"To take the context into account 40,000 Americans die in auto accidents each year."

And probably 35,000 of these are young people in the 16-24 age bracket. I guess this means that statistically speaking, American youth would have been safer in the military this past year(no sarcasm intended).
