1. I watch the New Hour's presentation of the names and faces
of the recent dead. Always many young cut off in their prime, anonymous, without famous families. It is heart breaking. I used to write in these threads "Out NOW," but it is beginning to seem a pointless expression. I suspect, fear, dread that the new Democratic President will carry this thing on in one form or another, and we know very well what McPain would do.

3. The really sad part...
is that we all have become hardened in our response to the continued loss of our soldiers. I posted earlier, in a different thread, this same info, but titled "Soldier from Vermont dies in Iraq"...there were only 19 views and no replies! This is Vermont's 24th soldier to die in Iraq (the 5th to die was my Godson)...Vermont has lost more military personnel, per capita, than any other state.

Where is the outrage?? Maybe we have used it all up and have no more to offer. Another sad day here in Vermont as we await the next.

4. From Mia's own website: "How many more must die before this atrocity is stopped?"
We have just learned that my nephew, Jason Dene, was killed in Iraq yesterday

His mother is my sister, Tisa Farrow.

Jason loved his parents and sister, his wife Judi and their three small children. He also loved his country and he was proud to serve it.

But I honestly don't know why Jason died. There was never any evidence of weapons of mass destruction. That was a lie. So people speculate -- was it the oil? Or the old grudges of an old man -- Cheyney and his Haliburton? Or the unfinished business of the father -- some haunting of the son? Sadam was bad -- but by then a sleeping dog. Not making threats. The world is full of brutal leaders, some are worse than Sadam Hussein.

This war is as incomprehensible as it is unacceptable. In a cloud of confusion politicians, generals and ordinery people have come to see that it is a disaster. Exit plans are being discussed but Iraqi citizens and young Americans like our Jason are being killed.

For four years my sister has lived in fear of this day.

She is a nurse and was working at the hospital when the two uniformed men came to her home. Jason's sister, Bridget opened the door. They went to the hospital to give Tisa the most terrible news a mother could hear.

I hope I never see George W Bush.

I could not shake his hand. He and his cabal have killed my beautiful nephew just as surely as if they had shot him. May God, if there is one, forgive them. I cannot.

Today Tisa and Bridget, Judi, and the three little ones - have been given a life sentence of grief.

How many more must die before this atrocity is stopped?

5. Jason was due to be back home...
in three weeks. Family is going to have a press conference later today to dispute cause of death. Army claims he died in his sleep, from sleep apnea, but family has other information.


Stay tuned!

Three young children...such a shame. My heart goes out to the family.

How many more, indeed.
