3. "How many ........." before Americans condemn Bush's war???
I do not believe that the number of deaths will determine when Americans will start to condemn Bush's criminally illegal war. Thus far, the number of deaths has not been shown to be altogether significant for most Americans.

The actual determinant will be the return of the military draft and the forcible use of conscripts for Bush's criminally illegal war.

Thus far, many people have allowed themselves to be duped into believing that this criminal war is "justified". Just like in Vietnam during the 1960s.

But when the draft was used to fill out the roles served by initial volunteers whose terms were up and people were forced to die for the corporate profiteering, that's when the majority of Americans condemned that stupid war.

Guaranteed = that's what will happen in this war as well.
