We weep for every one of our heroes, especially because they VOLUNTEERED to shed their blood to liberate others. This has always been America's contribution to world peace, throughout history. They instinctively understand that freedom is not free, which most others take for granted. So, please don't shed crocodile tears for our 1,200 heroes in Iraq unless you did the same for the well over a million Iraqis, Iranis and Kuwaitis that Saddam Hussein was responsible for killing. Our heroes have liberated 50 million Afghans and Iraqis, and Libya, where their leader was considered even worse than Saddam, has decided to join the civilized world. It took 4 to 7 years to pacify and democratize Japan and Germany and our troops protect them to this day. I always wonder whether there is some subliminal racism in play when people want to deny Muslims the same freedom and democracy that every one of us enjoys.
