Reply #18: is it possible Moore is just extrapolating to a logical conclusion?

That is -- there are many Americans who think Bush and Co. are messing up Iraq but who STILL supporting the White House. Perhaps he is trying to shock people into realizing that the price for going along with this horrible administration is that soldiers are going to die, and that they cannot have it both ways (oppose the war yet vote for Bush, which it looks like several million voters might do this November).

I don't think he wants those people to die, and he has probably met plenty of parents like Mari who are antiwar.
