Total casualties

9/11/2001 - 2800 people killed
Aghanistan & Iraq - 262,000 people killed and 555,000 seriously injured

source, numbers as of Aug 8, 2006

According to the same source, 3649 US & coalition troops & civilians have been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq, greatly exceeding the number killed (on our side) by the terrorist attacks that precipitated these conflicts. If those numbers don't convince, just consider the co$t of these wars: $437 billion, as of June 16, 2006.

Time to pull out.
