A Pentagon General told BBC “If we lose America, we lose the war, †and this seems to be happening already. 
Ralph Begleiter is a professor at the University of Delaware. Some time this year he brought the US Defence Department to court in order to force it to publish pictures of coffins coming home from Iraq.
The Pentagon then published 700 pictures, and this – together with the increasing number of deaths and a lot of resistance from victims’ families – had a big impact in American public opinion about the Iraq war. As American soldiers’ casualties have reached 1850, American public support for the war has dropped to about 40%.
Thanks again to BBC news for the information and picture.
Is there a link to the source of the pictures/your picture?
matt: the picture was taken from the BBC Mundo (http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/spanish/international/newsid_4165000/4165954.stm). I should’ve mentioned that in the posting, and I’ll fix that soon.
Similar pictures can be seen at BBC World’s website at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4496099.stm
By the way, did you know that a photografer was fired from her job in a company in Kuwait after taking pictures of this kind?
FEMA has asked the media not to show the dead.

And decreasing support for the war is GOOD….. because war is BAD.
