The Seattle Times : U.S. deaths in Irag fall; lowest level in a year



The statistics: Deaths rose with troop increase, then declined in recent months

  • Last month, 62 Americans died. That preliminary number was the lowest total since July 2006, when 43 Americans died in Irag.
  • In September, 41 troops died in combat, 21 died from nonhostile causes. The previous month, 84 U.S. troops died, 61 of them in combat.
  • From March through June, 411 Americans died in Irag, including 126 in May, according to a USA Today database.

My opinions: A death is an obvous truth of a war. America and Irag are still in tension. If this condition doesn't stop, the soldiers of both will be still in a dangerous environment. I hope that the government of America and the government of Irag will have a reasonable method to solve this problem without the deaths

Great article choice on a difficult topic! Big problem is that you gave the information in outline form. You were supposed to write your summary in paragraph form! Next time, be sure to do that! Gail
