10 marines died in Iraq today, 11 wounded, some probably maimed for life. But oh, those deaths are suposed to prevent our deaths right? Let me get this straight. If you invade a muslim country without provocation, in a time of worldwide terrorism, then you have greatly reduced the risks of terrorists attacks to the invaders homeland? Oh yeah, Ok.

Things couldn't have worked out better for ol' Osama, could they?

If someone invaded MY country without provocation, and destroyed it, kidnapped and murdered my fellow citizens by the thousands, I'd be setting off some roadside bombs too.

Obabeni wrote I hope the hell that you are not taking pleasure in the fact 10 of our finest have died. I am not a sup[porter of the Iraq II war either ( I support going into Afghanistan) but I would not ever use the death of 10 MARINES or any soldiers who are probably young enough to be my sons as a political cannon fodder.

Let me that you are not that heartless!!!!!!

I should not even respond to this. So, anything we report here means we are in favor of it, any breaking news we post means we are taking pleasure in said breaking news? Hmmm. My gawd there are some irrational thinking people here.

There's nothing more galling than people here who would seem to relish bad 'news' if might be seen to tend to support a pet-position of theirs; forgeting the real grief, or worse, in spite of it.

Of course, there are also so very few here who even consider the grief of ordinary Iraqis, as if their grief was of a lesser order, somehow...

I certainly don't relish the news of 10 dead Marines, especially considering they died for a war based on a pack of lies. I don't relish the deaths of ordinary Iraqis either, again, dead because the "War President" invaded their country w/o provocation. I have a right to post a breaking news here as much as anyone though.

Yes. The alternative was worse.

I dont agree that it was without provocation. We tried diplomacy for almost 10 years. Diplomacy failed.

Yes. In the long term they will have fewer resources than they would have had before. I would rather that the battle take place over there than over here.

Osama can tell himself whatever makes him feel better. Two Muslim nations are now democracies, and our influence in their culture is greater than before. Nice "victory" Osama, heh heh.

The only way that analogy could be correct is if you were Saddam. Because the Iraqi's never had a country...they were living in Saddam's country.

If someone removed an oppressive dictator and handed my nation back to me I would be grateful.
