    Just pray he will leave for Iraq. Afghanistan is much worse. Half of the world helps the US in Afghanistan including my nation Sweden. But still in Afghanistan 4 times as many US soldiers die compared to Iraq.
    I read something that Fallujah is worse than entire Baghdad but the media ignores it to make the war seem safer. Must be doing the same thing ignoring Afghanistan that is 400% worse for US troops even with half of the world helping them.

    I think you are mistaken Stalin. American deaths:

    449 in Afghanistan

    3,839 in Iraq

    Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?

    Yeah, Stalin. Believe me, if that were true it would be all over the news. I don't know one journalist in my school who wouldn't love to expose another of Bush's miserable failings, and I'm sure that sentiment extends to many professional journalists as well.

    I never said that more US soldiers died in Afghanistan. Only that its worse. The reason that its more in Iraq is that America is almost alone, only with 1/4 of the world and some contractors like mercenaries. Such as Denmark and the French foreign legion.

    The US has much more troops in Iraq. So for the troops in Afghanistan its much more violent. And many of them are elites such as Navy seals et c, cause they are more needed there.
