US chopper crash kills 13 in Iraq.

US chopper crash kills 13 in Iraq. : "A US military helicopter has gone down in Iraq, killing all 13 people on board."
This is such a waste, such a waste. Such a terrible waste. Everyday. More and more. I do not know how the Iraqi people are managing to manage this on a daily basis in their country. I have no idea how America can afford to lose so much military equipment. I know it's the richest nation, but how much richer would it be if they kept their money at home? The schools? The hospitals? All that pioneering and research they do? And the people? How do they cope losing their loved ones like this? It must be having a devastating effect on them because so many Americans have lost their lives now, and okay, they have been involved in this for their country, but it is just such a waste. Everyone keeps dying. Everything keeps being destroyed. There has to be a better way. We have to be able to think ourselves out of this because this isn't working, it's obvious it isn't working and we need to turn it around. I know it's not something we can just fix in a week because the damage done is enormous. It will take time, but the military approach is not working. Thinking, thinking...we need to do some serious, high level, high powered thinking.
