U.S. death toll in Iraq reaches 2,500

American deaths reach 2500...

The lack of outrage at the murders in Hadditha. And I have no proof that this happened. Only what i hear and what i read. This so called Christian nation. The Christian republicans and there is not outrage. None.

Most Americans have no problem that as many as 24 innocent people were killed in iraq. "collateral damage"

When I talk/discuss/debate the war at work, inevitably someone will say that the solution is to bomb them all. Usually some self proclaimed Christian, suggesting that we just "kill them all".

We have lost the moral high ground. Mr. Bush has done more in 6 years to make this country look bad than all the other presidents in the last 200 + years combined.

Jay Lena put it best when he said that Mr. Bush wanted to be a base ball player but lacked the skills to do so. Luckily for America, there are no such criteria to be president.

War is bad enough when you have a moral imperative to kill. Perhaps, wwii. Hitler and the mass destruction of Jews. Maybe. But in Iraq, we have no moral imperative.

Mr. Bush over the past few days has tried to raise the quagmire in Iraq above a level of disgust, and for many people that will not be an issue, hadditha, abu ghrib, and other war-crimes aside. the morality of war does not seem to bother the Christian sense of right and wrong. And so we have some of them suggesting that the solution in Iraq is to bomb them all.

U.S. death toll in Iraq reaches 2,500

18,490 U.S. troops have been wounded since 2003 invasion.
