#5 Just thought a little perspective was in order. There has been just one major battle involving the US thus far in this war (9/11/2001). There will be more, no matter what we do. And, I suspect, they will make all my above examples look small. It is the cost of apathy.

#6 Agreed. 18 dead should barely qualify as a skirmish. I pray for battles that result in hundreds of thousands (or millions!) of enemy dead.
