So this Iraq war is worst than the American civil war where 3% of the population was casulty ? So this Iraq war is like having 3% of the current American population as casulty or about 9 million Americans dead or injured? I knew it was bad, but I didn't know it was this bad until now! Thanks for the info, I will start digging a hole somewhere and stock up on the essentials - no wait, I have already done that and all the gold I have bought and stored is going to create a sink hole in my hole. Somehow the perspective of history is often lost in the heat of the argument from either side.
