This is a great column by Thomas Sowell making a point that I've been hammering on for awhile now.
http://www.townhall.com/columnists/thomassowell/ts20050125.shtml "If a battle ends with Americans killing a hundred guerrillas and terrorists, while sustaining ten fatalities, that is an American victory. But not in the mainstream media. The headline is more likely to read: "Ten More Americans Killed in Iraq Today."
Too true!!!
