Yes we do. The problem is that these events are not reported enough. All they get is a small mention here and there. Because of this people rarely consider that people are in fact dying. We need stories like this more so people are fully aware of what is going on.

Gee, wasn't it just last week that we had a story saying how things where getting so much better over there? How we are winning the war over there?
FTA: U.S. officials say militant attacks in Afghanistan are becoming more complex, intense and better coordinated than a year ago.

we know that the Iraq war is the most sanitized of all wars. that was why they took all the troops computers away. They were posting on the internet how horrible things were. In Iraq they went for the oil and in Afghanistan for a gas pipeline. It is all about greed and they don't care about how many innocent people they kill or displace

just being in the military is a dangerous occupation--they use a lot of really hazardous material in really radical ways..working a flight deck on a carrier is one of the most dangerous jobs you can have..even in peace time..i just wonder why this is news when being in the military in baghdad or kabul is safer than living in DC or LA..being one of our troops now is a really unique life path decision..its a field they choose to go into..not for everyone..but something some are drawn to for whatever reason..like being a truck driver..now theres a dangerous job..you could look it up

McCain wants to be there for another 100 years. Americans should vote McCain to keep the war on terror for another 100 years or vote Obama to keep Israel for another 600 years. Whoever wins Americans will die for imaginary wars that do not exist. Taliban or any other resistant forces have all the right to attack and kill the occupiers and oppressors whoever they are, the Americans would do the same thing in their own soil if invaded in order to regime change. By now America must realized that changing regime is very serious business and it is time America needs to change its cowboy mentality. America is in the wrong place and supporting the wrong people. The truth is America will not win this war.

Just thought I'd share a snippet from an email I received today. Not sure it's true (so you usual haters that want to accuse me of being a liar) I want you to know I did not research it, I have no clue if Colon said it or not, I merely hope that it was said because what is written is true.
History Lesson for Today
You could have heard a pin drop when in England, at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire building' by George Bush.
He answered by saying, 'Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders.
The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.'
You could have heard a pin drop.

Powell is quite eloquent.
You can see why the White House Iraq group chose him as the spokesman to the UN, to justify our invasion of Iraq.
And he is at heart a moral person.
You can see why he left the administration after finding out he had been given a speech of lies.
