You are clearly not of the fruitcake variety, and you raise valid points. Bush should have acted decisively to address the insurgency. Instead he vowed to fight the most humanitarian war ever. That was a recipe for disaster.
Nevertheless, to track every single death and every single milestone casuality is the nonsequitor (because casualties are the given in any conflict). That is my point, and it does not include such criticism of the war that you offer above.

  Thanks for your compliment, and for not calling me a fruitcake. But you were the one who brought up the number of casualties in Iraq in this thread--and I don't believe Dick Durbin or Nancy Sheehan has brought up the number of deaths in relation to the cyclone in Myanmar, either.
