5 more dead in Iraq today.

[Botany]

From Pink/Indigo Girls' great song.

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why



:cry:

Fighting terrorists and protecting America's freedoms in Iraq? Please. Now bush & company
are plunging headlong towards WW III and bankrupting the country. How in the name of
God did this come to be?

When I was 10 years old a childhood friend of mine older brother was killed by a grenade
in Vietnam .... I can still tell you what everybody was wearing and where they were sitting
as his dad said, "XXXXX your brother is dead." That was in 1969 and it is burned in my mind.
How many more families here, in Iraq, and around the world are getting new pain and horrors
burned into their hearts and minds?

Sorry to rant.

BTW anybody hear about bin Laden lately?
