3,157 U.S. troops now dead in W's war of choice

I guess that's OK with the ditzy headed Laura. She's like Babs Bush, she doesn't want to mess up her beautiful mind. And dozens of Iraqis killed each day.

many times, and you'll have the number of people grieving their deaths. Multiply the number of deaths many more times, and you'll have the number of men and women whose lives will be forever changed by this horrific war. Add their loved ones to the equation.

Multiply all of our deaths and injuries many, many more times, and you'll have an idea of just how many Iraqi deaths, and injuries have been caused. All of this pain, all of this death, all of these shattered lives, can be credited to Dubya, Cheney, and the PNACers who care not a bit about how many of us ordinary people have to die in order to realize their crazed dreams.

How much longer will we be willing to surrender our future...the lives of our children...in order to fulfill the neocon visions of unlimited power and wealth? I am not willing to sacrifice any of my beloved children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren, to this unholy mess. I must say in addition, I am including my nieces and great-nephews as belonging to the children I refuse to relinquish to war.

What really agonizes me is that if my loved ones don't enlist, they won't have to risk being killed or maimed. For the victims of the war, there was no choice. WE TOOK THE WAR TO THEM...and had the gall to proclaim that we were "fighting them over there, so that we didn't have to fight them over here."

How would any of us feel, if the U.S. were enduring what the citizens of Iraq are having to endure? I would not wish, for anything in the world, to be facing the judgment that Bush/Cheney will face, whether in this world, or the next. They are the face of evil. They are every bit as evil, and vicious, as Stalin, Hitler, or Pol Pot. I can think of no other despots who have surpassed their level of viciousness.
