Yes thats right, more US military personnel have died as a result of the war than casualties from September 11.
What a worthwhile war.
Maybe a better solution would be to try and eliminate the restrictions that are being put on the free will of people (not middle eastern people specifically but many people on both sides and all around the world) by suppressing free thought and the ability to analytically make decisions based on observations and fact, teaching them to conform to one set rules without question. The problem is that it is teaching people a mindset (all over the world) that they shouldn't stop and think about every step they take from their own perspective is what causes groups of irrational people. If everyone did this then we would live in peace apart from a few isolated nutters who get weeded out fairly quickly. I won't say explicitly what I am referring to but it has something to do with a wish granting sky fairy.
Actually, personally, I have my doubts about a lot of things with this war thing, hence, me getting out when my enlistment is up.
