Reply #49: Talk about AMERICAN DEATHS IN IRAQ and they'll care [View All]

about the lies. With over 1700 dead now, and so many deployed, the war must be hitting home to more and more people. To cite a couple of personal examples: a soldier from here was killed last year, the first from this city to die in Iraq, and several of my friends know his mother; also, I know a couple whose son is now a Marine serving in Iraq, actually went to a baby shower for him about 1979. Those two lives aren't more important than others but they are more real to me. The more the war becomes real to people, the more likely they'll question its purpose.
