There is a difference between belittling something, and putting it into proper perspective.

How's this, just for the sake of argument: I will GIVE you two points in your favor, then we will make another comparison, OK?


1. We will presume that the Iraq war was entirely needless and negligent (not that I necessarily believe that, but for the sake of argument).

2. We will not count any auto accident deaths except those clearly involving drunk driving, so that we are comparing only needless deaths due to negligent actions with the same.


The number of drunk driving deaths is still way higher than the number of soldiers killed in Iraq.

So which is the bigger problem for Americans, which costs more American lives? Which is worthy of the bigger protest and outcry?


Now, regarding responsibility: that depends on myriad factors. I am only showing why I do not think that the GOP or the administration has belittled the loss of American life in Iraq--only put it in perspective.
