1500 dead in 18 months is a significant number but it is nothing compared to the Americans we lost in combat on just one day, within a hundred miles of Washington D.C.

Great statistic. How many were lost on D-Day? More then this I bet. I have a Liberal just like the woman who wrote this in my building. She cares more about convicted terrorists having thier rights abused and how many troops in Iraq have died vs. the historic call for Democracy throughout the Middle East - All thanks to Bush. If she had her way Saddam would still be in power and Kerry would be sitting in the Oval office. Amazing how Liberals can only look at one side of the coin....
We probably lost 1500 per week in WW2.
