`Black August´ for US troops in Iraq. 58 US soldiers have died as 16.08. when in all of July 54 US soldiers died. Of course, all the individuals themselves almost certainly didn´t deserve to die - but then that is usual the case in all wars, in all sides. The fact is that their country deserves to loose and the only way to that end is for the US soldiers to die in significant enough numbers for the US to cut and run.
