are killed everyday in automobile accidents, and there is also no outrage, although various proposals are are constantly floated to reduce these deaths.

It's not the numbers that are killed that matters. It is why they died. One sex-murder, or hate-crime murder, will achieve a far higher level of outrage than 100s of car accidents, or 10 war casualties.

If you want to raise the outrage level, you have to attack, not the deaths, deaths and maiming happen in war, but the reasons, or the causes of the war. IMO, I think the American voter will support far higher casualties, if they believe that the war is justified, and that the leaders (Bushco) are trying to win it.

That is what you have to attack.
