Some Christmas Pudding from Michael Moore

Dear friends,

What better way to get the Christmas dinner conversation going than with some fun facts!

This is the first of THREE Christmases left under President George W. Bush. THREE.

Ok, that's not too cheery. Let me try again.

If the daily death toll continues at this rate, sometime on Christmas Day a U.S. soldier will die in Iraq and, with his or her death, more U.S. troops will have been killed in Iraq than all the people lost on 9/11 (2,973).

On second thought, skip the politics for a day and just enjoy the pie.

Merry Christmas to each of you, and peace on earth, wherever we Americans have dropped in.

Yours,
Michael Moore

1. It is up to each of us

to bring those troops home.

On this Christmas Eve, I am so sorry that I can't put my arms around the family members and friends whose losses are far larger than I could ever comprehend.

This war, and the ongoing death and pain, is not a tribute to those lost on September 11th. It is shameful. It is the lowest part of our nation's history, and it must stop.

2. It's bad enough for the families who've lost someone this year...

...the enormous jagged-edged hole in their lives that they now have to live with.

But to lose someone on Christmas Day itself-
That's going to cast a pall over every subsequent Christmas they have...
"This is the # anniversary of the day that _________ was killed in Iraq." :cry:
