We have lost 2,500 Americans in Iraq. How many more?

The number of U.S. military deaths in Iraq has reached 2,500, the Pentagon said Thursday, more than three years into a conflict that finds U.S.-led forces locked in a struggle with a resilient insurgency.

In addition, the Pentagon said 18,490 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war, which began in March 2003 with a U.S.-led invasion to topple President Saddam Hussein. Tens of thousands of Iraqis have been killed.

2,500 dead Americans, tens of thousands of Iraqi's killed, billions of dollars spent, and no real end in sight.

We have brought the Iraqi's fear and destruction. Surely they suffered under Saddam's rule, but we have done nothing to alleviate their difficulties. Nothing!
