Dude, we have our troops (Netherlands) over there as well. We only had one casualty in all those years we are there. Wanna know what happend with that one casualty? IT WENT TO COURT! To freaking court! To investigate what happend, why it happend and what could be done to prevent it. Overacting? Yes. In a war people die. Simple as that. But not if you die in a war that wasn't even supposed to be there. Iraq was never threat to anyone and Bush invaded it for the OIL, simple as that.
One death is a tragedy, 2000 deaths are a statistic. True enough, but it's still 2000 lives that where taken without reason. This isn't a computer game, Wanderer. The 2000 people who died out there for the so called freedom of their country, have families, brothers, sisters, friends. It's not Red Alert where you can just send your troops on a suicide mission because you can create more troops anyway (although thats almost what Bush is doing right now).
2000 people have died, thats 2000 to many. Simple as that.
