What a perspective. These statistics say a lot, at least to me.
American Deaths over the Last Three Years Put in Perspective:
• Auto Accidents: 120,000
• Falling Down: 45,000
• Poisoning: 27,000
• Drowning: 12,000
• War in Iraq: 2,300
Number of Anti-War Protestors in NYC on Sunday: 200
Agree with the war or not, it hasn’t been nearly as big of a debacle as the mainstream media would like for us to believe.

Gotta disagree.
Just because *only* 2,300 people have died from the war in Iraq does not mean it's justified. You should argue about why the war is sound instead of how significantly the media portrays it.
In response to the 200 protestors, those were just the ones in NYC. Those were just the ones on Sunday. What about the countless Americans who quietly disagree with the war, but choose not to demonstrate?
Also, I'd like to know where you got your facts from. This would be a more credible argument if you cited your source.
Hope I'm not too harsh--just some other sides of the argument...
I wholeheartedly agree with you Sara. Freedom doesn't come free just because we happen to live in America. Many have fought to preserve our freedom, some of my family among them. Thank God for the brave men and women who are deployed around the world on behalf of freedom. You don't want to get me started on my opinion of the mainstream media..... Pam
