If you are an Iraqi living in Iraq going about your business and the most powerful army in history shows up and flattens your town and kills you and everyone who has ever known you only for the press to report it on page 13 as "2 British soldiers wounded in successful operation" then someone should probably try and mention it from time to time.

I'm much more inherently against the idea that one death is worse or better than another.
