To most of us, the two thousandth combat death in Iraq was a tragedy. For the anti-war movement, however, it has been just another press opportunity. Forget the fact that those deaths, however tragic, still don’t equal all the non-combat deaths in the war in Korea (2,830 between 1950-53) or in other crucial conflicts in American history. Forget the fact that it would still take another thousand lost lives to equal all the Americans who perished in what was the opening battle of this war on terror, Al Qaeda’s attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center.
