FACTOID # 6: Bolivia has 4,500 Navy personnel - which seems like quite a lot for a landlocked country.

Dear Sirs,

were are the stats of the Iraqi civilian casaulties of the Iraq war??? Or, are only the Iraq coalition casaulties more important for you than the Iraqi civilians???? For me, it seem so that American or British lives are more important for you than the lives of the Iraqi civilians. Shame on you!

Sincerely,

Torsten Behrens

Let's think about his logically,

The US fights off their soil, on Iraqi soil, as a preventiative measure to ensure the safety of their land - it makes sense. Ok wiat a minute, did u already forget about Saddam Hussain and his killings some have called a genocide? and what about the terrorism? what about morals? who will stand and fight? obviously not you, because you have the comfort of popcorn and TV. as Rpbby said, good news doesn't sell. The media is BLATANTLY biased and we all know that. People should smarten up and think about things for themselves. Only accept facts, and base your decision on those - not from mainstream media.

(NOTE TO HOST: you may want to update comments more often.

Terrorism? There was no terrorism in Iraq until America invaded. Why did the US invade Iraq - terrorism, nukes? Oil perhaps? America has to get it's story straight. Why did it invade Iraq?:

1)Terrorism
2)Nukes
3)Freedom

1) If America invaded to stop terrorism, and protect the American people, then I'm afraid it went to the wrong place. The terrorists neither came from Iraq or were being harbored in Iraq.

2) Nukes? Nope, as Saddam kept imploring, there were no nukes. The weapons inspectors also were saying the same thing.

3)To free the Iraqi people? Please - there are a lot of screwed up countries with dictators and such all over the world, particularly Africa.

Robby, you didn't even address Tom's question. There are a lot more Iraqi's dying than Americans. People who were leading normal lives before, but have now become embroiled in messy internal conflicts, and dying.

I think America has lost a great deal of credibility in the eyes of the world over this fiasco, and only the American people are being duped into thinking it is a worthy cause.

Sorry Folks, Terrorism is not going away anytime soon. Fight it some place other than on USA soil. I've seen a video of the beheadings. It haunts me to think about these vermin going unchecked. After seeing United 93, I'm convinced that we won't have passengers sitting on their hands during another hijacking ...ever.

I'm greatful that our president has the courage to fight. No more waiting for another 9-11. We have to be proactive about terrorism. I salute our military guarding our freedom, and pray for their families.

These casualty numbers are given way too much attention. Can you imagine what the numbers might be if we didn't fight back ? Just think about what the numbers might've been if United 93 would've hit its target, then tell me that we need to bring our boys back ? Nobody wants to say it, but THESE CASUALTY NUMBERS ARE LOW !

How about reporting more about US Intell that has FOILED TERRORISM PLOTS that has saved THOUSANDS. Oh, that's right. GOOD NEWS DOESN'T SELL Chevy Trucks, Bud Light, and HELP ELECT LIBERAL DEMOCRATS. How about reporting more about the new lifestyle of the NEW FREE Nation of Iraq ? Does anyone realize that they had DOUBLE the PERCENTAGE of their population VOTING than the USA. Can you hear the passion in the voices of the Iraqi leadership.

LISTEN UP ! Terrorists and the Nations that harbor terror, BEWARE !! OUR MILITARY IS DYING TO STOP YOU ! BUT, THEY ARE GETTING BETTER AT KILLING YOU !!! And if you want to die for Allah ! THEY'LL HELP YOU !!!
