If we had not Nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki, millions of Japanese and Americans would have been killed in the process of taking Japan out.
People whine that we have lost 3000 men over the last 4 years. SHUT UP!! We lost 2500 men in ONE DAY... D-DAY. The day we invaded Europe, and set off the end of the war. We lost more men at Normandy in a week than we will probably lose in this whole war.
Wake up people! Look at history and quit listening to sissy reporters whose worst day has been chipping a nail.

there's a big deal of difference between fighting a war such as WWII and getting involved in such nonesense such as Vietnam and Iraq. you Americans should know better than anyone else.....
it doesn't take a PhD to understand what is necessary. Starting a war should be the very last resource, a real democracy just doesn't start bombing other places with stupid excuses or scapegoats such as non existing WMD threats.(eg. nukes in IraQ, chemical weapons? never heard of .....).
If a real war had to be started it would and should only be carried out if there were a real and tangible threat. GET REAL, what about afghanistan? years and no trace of Bin Landen!!!
do you have pop corn instead of brain cells???. Real threats are Iran, N. Korea.
of course, no ratifying the Kyoto treaty, and given the huge consumption of crude oil might give everyone a hint of why IraQ poses a major threat.......
Ever thought why all the most civilized states in the US vote democrate (luckily enough).
ps. if the US and other troops withdrew from Iraq it would be alot worse now..... no doubt on that. the whole process shouldn't have started in the first place.
pps. i would like to remind all the bright historians that the talibans were supported by the US counter intelligence in the first place( that's how the took power over the region), same for Saddam Hussein..... as a matter of fact I would do my "history homework" before saying all this nonesense if i were in you people.
I feel so sorry for all the bright american minds, but i really would do something about your lower education system. The US offers a large number of the most highly appraised Universities and colleges, so how come there's still people who can come up with this *************

More people die every day in Chicago, or any other major city from homocide than do in the entire country of Iraq.
We lost 600,000 men in the civil war. We had much fewer people back then.
More Americans die every year so we can keep the cost of gas down than those fighting in Iraq. It's REAL blood for oil I'm talking about. The Dems got this idea that we should force auto makers to reduce the amount of metal in car bodies, to lighten the vehicle and save money on oil. Great idea, except that it causes the deaths of about 2,000-3,000 americans each year. Apparently that doesn't bother them.
Skewed view of reality? Certainly.

In response to some posts, we're fighting so you can sit there and write your opinions IN A FREE COUNTRY!!!
More to others....
You do realize that the decision to do anything was not just by the President but by congress as well.
Everyone was given the same information (whether it was right or wrong) and acted upon it.
I find it funny that so many people like to finger point on one man.

Theres a bit of a difference. See, WW2 wasnt really our choice to fight. Pearl Harbor basically brought us in without giving us a choice.
Iraq is a luxury war. It wasnt necessary, it still isnt. Meanwhile, Halliburtons stocks have shot up in value, 3000 US soldiers are dead, not to mention the enormous numbers of dead Iraqi civilians. These arent just ****** statistics here ok? These are dead human beings, who had families, friends and lives! Can you honestly tell me that its worth it? Was it really worth the destruction of an entire country???

hmm... maybe you should wake up...
people are tired of fighting a war based on untruths...
go after Osama and I doubt you'll hear anymore cries...
in other words... FIGHT A WAR FOR A REASON... BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT YOU'RE DOING IN IRAQ... and 3,000 deaths when the leaders don't have a clue... is inexcusable...
WWII... leaders had a clue... they didn't attack Australia after pearl harbor did they? but we went after Saddam after 9-11?
if you think this and WWII have any similarites... someone does need to study history...

Agreed....also, if we leave Iraq, there will be infinitely more civilian casualties. Some "Americans" don't care about that though.

People understand that in wars people die. I think the problem is that this particular war isn't worth dying for. A brave man doesn't walk away from a fight, but he doesn't go around punching people randomly, either.

Finally! Someone who has common sense. Just as I thought there was no hope for humanity in this country, you appear and take the words right out of my mouth.
I 150% agree.

Unfortunately, the death count has no correlation to "winning."
