There has not been a ton of death. Ask my grandfather about a ton of death. Monte Cassino was a ton of death. Guadalcanal was a ton of death. Normandy was a ton of death. The eastern front was a ton of death. Saddam's genocide of the Kurds was a ton of death.
Iraq has been a ton of coverage. NOT a ton of death.

wow. you are trying to argue about the relative casualty rates of war, and because the number of civilian deaths in Iraq is about 25,000 it isn't a "ton of death" compared to what you reference above?
from that viewpoint Monte Cassino or Guadacanal aren't a "ton of death" when compared to Hiroshima...
ridiculous.
25,000 civilians (that we know of) is surely a "ton of death" in my view.
