Dude, how can you sit there behind a screen and talk about sacrifice when you dont know the meaning of that word. Thousands have died so far. At what cost? Because we, on this side of the world, "thought" there were terrorist connections to Saddam. It is now apparant that is not the case. So we justify the death of these people by saying, well at least now they can have a better country. Or they had a very bad leader. And at what cost? THEIR LIVES. We talk about freedom, but that's so f*ing hypocritical. These dead people will never have a taste of freedom. Imagine how we (and I'm talking about all of us on this side of the world) would do react to people who tried to justify 911 or any other major atrocity by saying this is the cost of "freedom" or "sacrifice" for the greater good.

I just don't think we get it.
