3. Any names? Or are you just grateful that they keep dying in large numbers?

We cannot justify our outrage about Iraq if they quit dying, now could we? And who really gives a damn about who they are -- just as long as they're dead.

4. Names for most of those dead in December are not out yet.

It takes a while.

But for those who would like more information on the dead - who they are-their ages-where they came from you can go to

But I think you are mistaken. People here are very concerned about the deaths of each and everyone of these people. To see them like this - all 3,000 faces and their ages and how they died is very painful. Especially since they have died for absolutely no good reason.

We need to get them home.
