The ugly stuff is that David is correct. More Iraqis die in a few weeks than the US looses in 3 years. I don't think either party would count one of their lives to be worth one vote in November. At this point, I doubt that the Palestinians put much value on an Israeli life -- If I were in their place, I probably would not either.
The Palestinians have a reason. They have been under the gun. The US nationistic jingoism is inexcusable. The only time the US talks about internationalism is when the other party falls into line. Why do people have to say, "I love America, but this war is wrong." Besides if they love America, why do the Americans from Mexico bother them so much. End of rant.
