September War Dead the GOP Wants You to Forget - Bob Geiger
The poignant and hard to swallow truth is summed up in this paragraph:

Imagine the constant, JonBenet Ramsey-like media coverage that would occur if Al-Qaeda killed 44 Americans by bombing a Burger King in Peoria. And yet the same number of Americans dying for absolutely nothing -- and similar bloodshed guaranteed for next month -- disappears almost entirely from view, garnering less ink and broadcast time than an appearance of Suri Cruise or the box office ranking of 'Jackass Number Two.'

Americans have allowed themselves to be brainwashed to not care about the horrible price families are paying for our involvement in Iraq.
