Bush is a human. Can we remember that please? Most humans with our educational perspective have at least some value on human life.

Good point, He would lose alot of "face" at home if the polls indicate anything.
The voters at home are what counts to any elected official. And the current polls indicate a substanial degree of tolerance for U.S. casualties , Now if or when these causalties actually start happening, all that might change.

Every man, woman, and child, from over 80 countries around the world, that died on 9-11-01. That is a pretty steep list of casualties, dont you think?
Just to put things into perspective,
