No need for Blessing, its like a human crushing an ant, start blessing when USA gets in a real war akin to WW1/WW2 where both sides lose near equal amounts.

[Moosejay]

Why would you want ANYONE to lose ANYTHING?

Peace to you,

This 'ant' has still taken 3,917 American lives in Iraq alone.

Correct. And remember and honor all of the New Yorkers.

...And the thousands of civilians that have perished due to our foreign policy 

[Moosejay]

...And the thousands of civilians that have perished due to our foreign policy 

Remember...the powers that be will NEVER, EVER let lunch pail joes like you and me know what really goes on over there.

We really can't say how many have perished, for sure, due to our foreign policy.

I respect your opinions, but I am a jingoist, so I can't fairly speak politically of this.

Best regards,

Wow with just a few days left in the year you might have just won the most ignorant post of the year.  Good job moron.

Thats not bad since most estimates for loss of Iraqi life by US Forces since 2003 is estimated to be around 800,000, so for Every dead American the USA kills 200 Iraqis.

You think for every USA soldier killed that 200 Iraqis are killed that the USA soldiers need blessing?

[Moosejay]

None of us will EVER know these numbers. Do they matter?

Take care of what we still have and can maintain. And I agree with Only on the previous post.

Everyone needs blessing.

With the absence of some folks, the world is simply no poorer.

Thats not bad

Around 4K troops dead not to mention the wounded/mentally gone; to invade a country for no morally justified reason?

Not bad 

[Army of One]

Everyone needs blessing.

This isnt a fairytale.

Not bad 

I mean not too bad for a country that MADE THE DECISION TO INVADE, sure had you been invaded I think far more people would be sympathetic.

[Moosejay]

Their people are better off for our presence. We have done bad. We have done good. I think more good than bad. The net result is good.

I don't understand.

I am not trying to be funny, but could you please clarify that?

Mike

[Moosejay]

He's a norwegian soldier, easy now american patriots.

I can then understand his perspective.

Oh really? 

Laughing too much to reply seriously.

[Moosejay]

I don't see why you would think any of this is a laughiung matter.

REMEMBER THIS:

The least trusted profession today in our country (probably the world) is the MEDIA.

You probably know this.

So, anything you get in the form of world information is partially or wholly erroneous.

Like I teach my college students: Learn To Think On Your Own.

Not that you do not, my friend.

Best,

Ok then, 2,740 died in 911 when USA was attacked by mainly Saudi Extremists, 4000 soldiers died in Iraq, one of the events generated 1000 times more sympathy than the other, Ill let you work out the rest.

[noc]

I'm just curious 'Mike' how you've come to that conclusion.

Was it the weekly suicide bombings in vastly populated markets, the rape and murders of Iraqi's by U.S marines or the odd 'precision'( ) missile that misses its target.

Or are you just blindly celebrating a fake democracy?

I don't listen/read American media but since its Jew ran, it's reports are tinted with 'kosherness'  And since   Israeli's and Muslims are best friends, I'm not sure how this would effect my current anti-war stance

Obviously American civilian deaths are going to be mourned more than soldiers since the risk of dying goes hand in hand with the army and 'war' zones in general...still not sure what your point was
