1500 dead American soldiers and counting.....

The latest KIA and WIA counts from CNN. (That is, if they've been keeping it up to date.)

When will this macabre telethon end? When can we bring 'em back home alive?

I wouldn't be pissed at the body count if this were actually a *just* war--one we could rightly claim to be involved in for reasons of self-defense. But it's not. Unfortunately, now that we're in it, we have to see it through. We have a moral obligation to maintain civil order until the Iraqi people can do that for themselves, and I just don't see how that's gonna happen. The only thing more wrong than invading in the first place would be leaving while the place is still a shambles. Unfortunately I'm not sure what the answer is.
