Your post sums up the reason why so many Americans are seriously deluded in this election:
"We have lost a lot of soldiers in this struggle. But the body count since 9-11 is still lower than that one day that caused us to declare war."
The body count on 9-11 resulted in the declaration of war on Bin-Laden and his followers, NOT SADDAM!!! Hello, is anyone out there with any intelligence???
