US death toll in Iraq at record level.

A good thing. A horrible thing to write? Certainly most of them, if not all of them, didn´t deserve to die, but then, who deserves? I could give few names, but... They were occupying soldiers in a foreign country that wasn´t a threat to their own country. And nobody forced them to go. Nobody put a gun on their head and said "You go or else", nobody threatened their families if their wouldn´t have gone. And we have to remember that at least 50 000, maybe over 100 000 Iraqis - civilians, soldiers, guerillas - have died. So the death of even single American soldier is a good thing, because it´s brings US defeat a little bit closer. And what the world needs is US defeat in Iraq. Not because the world is anti-American and hates the US "freedoms", whatever they may be, but because if the United States doesn´t get it´s nose bloody in Iraq, it will continue on this path that it has chosen - a path, which majority of US citizens ( according to polls) give their support - and which will make the world a more dangerous place and create the kind of war and chasm between civilizations which Samuel Hungtingdon claims already exists. You can´t stop the US without killing US soldiers. Even if they may be good and nice persons when they don´t wear the uniform.
