Entire Counties....Everyone Could Have Died...

3890: The number of American deaths in the war in Iraq as of today.

The number of American soldiers who have died in the war in Iraq is greater than the population of each of the following Texas counties. I got a list of Texas counties, by population, from the U.S. Census Bureau and sorted it. Every one of the counties in the list below has a population of fewer than 3,890. Among the towns with fewer than 3,890: City of Anna, Archer City, Angus, Anahuac, Aubrey, Austwell, Dripping Springs, Fulshear, Hallettsville, Itasca, Karnes City, Kemah, Llano, Magnolia, Marfa, Parker, Pantego, Quitman, Schulenburg, Taft, Three Rivers, Van Alstyne, and Zavalla. There are dozens and dozens more.

How is it that this nation is not absolutely horrified at having sent the equivalent of the population of several counties and towns to be killed in Iraq?
