I love America. No country on this planet is perfect. No country on this planet has stayed in power. It's easy to hate the most powerful country. Traveling overseas I've seen HUNDREDS of reasons why people would be jealous of America and want us to fail. One thing that's important to realize is they hate America, yet want us to give them something. Part of us staying in power is by showing our military might... and sadly, some of our people die doing this.

A great site to goto is http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv...fthefallen.htm . The farther back the date range you select, the more photos you can see. The site shows photos of each troop and how he died. A lot of really hot guys.. their whole lives ahead of them.

After watching Farenheight 911 it's easy to see why Bush has sent our troops to Iraq... they showed proof that Bush, and others in power, had TRILLIONS of dollars to make in military contracts there. By going to war a few select companies have gone through the roof in profits. Also don't forget that Iraq was first to find WMD, now that we didn't find any it's to "liberate" the Iraqi people. Some thing the reason Bush allowed 142 of Bin Ladens relatives to leave the states, while all other flights were grounded, was because his proven fiancial ties with the bin laden family and because they own 7% of the entire U.S. economy in their business dealings.

Enough of that.... but to answer your question.. there are many reasons to send these poor guys to die.. unfortunately, right now, they are all the wrong reasons. >off my soapbox now<
