first, sorry for putting it so bluntly, I guess I was trying to make the statement sound more intense but it really wasn't. 2nd of all, stepping cautionly around will not win this war any faster either. Taking our time to liberate every country will only mean that the next is better prepared and better armed. I know human lives are not expendable but in the long run, many more will be lost than there should have been if we don't make sacrifices. Now, I don't mean throw those lives away on some suicide mission but people should not be angry because men and women were lost honorably in battle defending people who deserve/are entitled to freedom. If you value lives so much (I do too, again, sorry), then you should see the point of the Iraq War. People used to get slaughtered in Iraq, not they have a chance to voice their opinion. Innocent men, women and children were murdered just because they were foreigners. You couldn't turn to the police to protect you, no, they were in league with Sadam. Now, again, you value lives? then why not value the lives to the Iraqi people as well?
