Keep in mind that these guys comprehend the possibilities of their sacrifice. No one wants to die. And even in situations where they make the ultimate sacrifice, they'd still prefer not to. So I'm not promoting more death. But I do think that people should stop thinking on their behalf so much and let these guys so what they volunteered to do. They're in our thoughts and prayers.
As for the discussion of taking over someone else's country: I hope you weren't suggest the U.S. was wrong for overthrowing that government. A dictator found guilty of war crimes (and executed for it) was removed and democracy is being pursued. It won't easily be accepted, but 'forcing' democracy on anyone cannot possibly be viewed as wrong. You're giving power to the people. If they wanted to elect Sadaam into power, then let them be dumb and tortured. The reason he was forcefully removed is because of all the crimes against his own people.
I think more efforts are needed to better stablize that region, and people should give more thanks to U.S. (and other) soldiers who give up their lives for Iraqi freedom. I believe that many perspectives on this war are ignorant and should be re-evaluated.

I don't know whether or not we are watching the same new, but from what I see Iraq is more unstable now than it ever has been. Besides, Bush never said that he wanted Saddam out, else he would have moved into Iraq before, no he needed the weapons of mass destruction destroyed.. according to him. I personnaly think tha the just wants the oil, as his family are a large texas based oil farmers...
