Race Card of War
The Washington Post reports that we have reach 2,083 American Service men and women dead in Iraq. It seems to me that whenever someone wants to make their negative position on Iraq "bullet proof" they quote the number of Americans dead. It is the social equivalent of accusing someone of being a racist so that whatever they say is meaningless. It is the worst kind of politics and social argument.
2,083 lives lost and everyone of them was important and the cause they died for was that important, too. They gave their lives so that others could be free. They gave their lives so that a free, democratic, peaceful, Arabic country could take hold. They gave their lives so that an evil, regressive, brutal ideology would not prevail. They gave their lives as volunteers on the right side of the greatest struggle in our life time.
I hope god blesses them and I wish people would stop using them.
