less than 200 troops have died since the 'war' officially ended in iraq. this is in no way, shape or form going to turn into another vietnam. almost 60,000 US troops died in vietnam. i would agree that the occupation isnt over, but this is certainly a step in the right direction. if the capturing of saddam is somehow a bad thing i would like to hear why.
