That sounds suspiciously like you want to have a perpetual reason for war.
No..I don't want people like you using his death as your excuse to give up everywhere...as you aptly hint that you would.

At least 2.6 million Iraqis
Quit pointing to Iraqis suffering as your excuse to turn your back on them.

Lose under that and it wil be written in stone for decades that Americans are weak willled pansies.
I see. Fundamentally, what you fear is that your own masculinity projected on the U.S. marines will be somehow immasculated. If you thought this through, you wouldn't talk about weak- willed Americans: what nonsence! Iraqis are being murdered primarily by other Iraqis!! Is the presence of U.S. troops helping or hurting this divisiveness, hatred and disintegration? Can some other police keeping units (say, Arabic speaking peace keepers) do a better job? Can the U.S be more effective pressuring the government to make political compromises- such as changing the debaathification laws -than it can breaking into homes? Have you ever tried to ask the question-what is best for Iraq? And who can best make that determination?
