Interesting to note, we have shed more American blood (casualties, not
deaths), overthrowing Saddam than we shed ridding ourselves of King
George.

Other "interesting" notes:

On average, more Americans died in a 2 week period of WWII than the
entire time period of both Gulf Wars combined.

On average, 526 Americans died each month in Vietnam vs. just under 65/mo
in the second Gulf War.

More Americans died on 9/11 than in both Gulf Wars combined.


Should one conclude, then, that your point is the 1800+ Americans who have
died so far fighting Bush's war do not add up to a number of any
consequence?

I wouldn't say that. Afterall, the 6000 or so Americans who died during the
American Revolution (a number that pales in comparison to the number who
died in any of our other major wars) certainly played a very important role
in the future of our country.
