That these men and women died, and many more have been grievously
wounded, in addition to over 50,000 innocent Iraqi civilians killed, in
an optional war based on lies:

Something else which is sad is trying to use the deceased to bolster an
incorrect idealogy. Where do you get the 50,000 civilian figure from?

That statistic is from the Baghdad morgue and the Iraqi Health Ministry.
It's a breaking story in the LA Times, among other places:

Iraqi civilians killed this year by Islamic Terrorists
3,148

Yes, it is also sad that we made Iraq into a killing field for al Qaeda
and sectarian violence. It didn't have to be that way. It's a result of
incompetence and negligence.

Well that and about half of the Amerikan electorate.

Op --war is hell, I've heard. At least for those who have it foisted upon
them, anyway.--
