This site has numerous tables showing various statistics for the war in Iraq.
http://icasualties.org/oif/
In WWII the US had around 400,000 deaths in less than 4 years.
For a table of US casualties and veterans for all wars, check out this table.

And there were 17,034 murders in the US in 2006.

It's usually rounded up at 5000, but they rarely discern between Coalition forces and American forces, so the exact number is debatable.

One is too many, but actually the number is relatively low.
I think it's around 3,850. For almost five years of fighting, that's really not too bad.
Our forces kick butt.

Too many! Such a waste! War is truly a waste and guess who is paying for it? YOU AND ME!
