Oh, and by the way, to the original poster who started the thread, the news of Americans being killed over there has become commonplace enough that it is reported here much in the same way as you describe it being reported in the UK. Its usually something like "The dow is up 12 points, jennifer Aniston breaks off her relationship with Vince Vaughn, and 3 troops died in Basra today. Next, weather and traffic.".
The killing of American soldiers isnt even front page news on websites such as msnbc or CNN anymore. Sad but true.
