Counting the dead

As everyone is probably by now aware, U.S. military deaths in Iraq have passed the 2,000 mark. Apparently one out of four is a National Guard citizen-soldier.

This AP article reminds us that it could be worse: we could be the invadees rather than the invaders.

My heart and prayers go out to our lost slodiers and thie famalies. I hear "blowin' in the Wind" in my mind.

I hadn't read the AP article you linked before I wrote my last post. Never have I forgotten the innocent Iraqis who have diein this war, this misbegotten war.
