Exactly how many casualties have to occur before the public is outraged?

1. As long as the RW controls the Media

Bush can tell all the WMD jokes he wants and people can be hurt.

And, the majority of Americans just won't care.

2. Not until there's enough to pre-empt "Fear Factor"

or "Everyone Tolerates Raymond"...

11. I think you hit the nail on the head

when even Fox has to break into their nightly programming to deliver bad news, then we'll start to see a growing anger.

[Done]

3. As long as there's no draft...

it's no skin off their ass.

[Merlot]

4. The public dosen't even know how many casualties

there have really been. They don't know how many have been injured, and later died. They haven't heard how many have been maimed. And they can't even imagine how many Iraqi civilians (moms, old folks, kids) have been killed.

Until they hear these numbers, we can't know where their outrage point is.

Was the public outraged at how many died in VietNam?

6. Exactly. Most people don't know about the casualties that are occuring

Even I only hear about the Americans that get killed. There must be countless thousands of Iraqis who have died that I have no idea about.

take it to the bank!

7. until the caskets are all shown

rolling down Pennsylvania Avenue

no pics from Dover like it was done during the Viet Nam war -- outasight outamind with no pics. and the press puppies aren't allowed to write "bad things" -- so how will people know?

HOW MANY MORE WILL DIE, FOR BUSH'S LIE?

8. There is no upper limit as long as someone else dies.

We are, after all, fighting for FREEDOM! Why do you hate America anyway?

9. More blonde hair, blue eyed chicks need to be killed...

before anyone notices.

[Kimber Scott]

10. Until they put them on the news, they don't exist.

They learned their lessons after Vietnam.

14. Nightline last night did the story of 6 Nat'l Gardsmen

\who were killed at the same time. It was a really well done piece and talked about how these people were a part of the community with other jobs an businesses, not full-time soldiers. The most important part was that the families wanted everyone to see the funerals, so the press was invited to see six caskets come off the airplane. Later, georgie stephinopleaseshutup intervied Gov. Mary Landariu. He kept interrupting her, but she got her point across very well.

12. Apparently, the answer is unknown

I've been outraged and ashamed with every death american or not, the massive numbers of wounded, the wanton destruction of a country thousands of years old.
I thought people would wake up at 100, then 500, then 1000, as far as I know we're sitting on 1365 known american kia, though I believe the numbers are much greater.
As long as we're being distracted by popular culture and the pain is not felt in middle class america, this is going to go a long, long time.

13. 5,239

I just Googled it to get the answer.

15. I used to think 1,000.

I guess I was wrong.
