What would you have us do?  Turn tail and run, leaving millions of Iraqi
citizens who had hopes for a secure future to suffer whatever torture that the 
ensuing chaos and civil war bring them?  Screw 'em, right?  Hey, why don't we 
just nuke every major city in Iraq and let 'em start from scratch?

Every U.S. servicemember casualty is a great loss, but it doesn't mitigate the
fact that they are doing an honorable and necessary job in Iraq to establish 
stability in the country and throughout the entire region.  Every solider in
Iraq knows that and is willing to stand, fight and win for that greater good.

So how can one take a position, at home in an armchair and watching like some
spectator sport, that their dedication, courage and integrity are fruitless?
It is patently inane for anyone to ever suggest "I support our troops, but I 
don't support the war."  The two concepts are mutually exclusive.
