I'm pretty sure that between Gulf War #2 and Gulf War #3 (Yes, there were three) approximately 0 Americans died at the hands of Iraqis. Shockingly enough, the same thing goes for Iran. Since the war began over 3,000 Americans have died there "defending freedom". We and our troops, who shockingly enough are Americans too, are safer here.

Iraq was about oil, empire and valuable defense/munitions contracts and it always was.

Accept it and move on.
