Coalition servicemen killed in the war against
Iraq:

Total announced as of 2nd of November: 433
(377 US, 51 UK, 1 Denmark,
3 Spain, 1 Ukraine)

....which is about ten percent of the Russian
deaths in Chechnya for 2002.

Thank heavens the US only had to go up against
an army with mostly
Russian equipment to fight with.

It seems that Mr. Petukhov is still at it, and is not very supportive or
symapthetic to non-Soviet/Russian POVs. Remember: the world doesn't revolve
around Moscow, much as the Soviets wished it would. Russia is like France:
Once they were an empire, now they aren't, and have lost a lot of prestige
and territory as a result. Wistful thinking won't bring back the old empire
or prestige that came with it.
