26 December 2006

The number of American troops killed in Iraq now exceeds September 11th deaths.

September 11th deaths: 2,973

Troop deaths from March 2003-December 25, 2006: 2,977.


War is brutal, and cruel, and unapologetic. This one seems nauseatingly quixotic.

I could go on a tirade about these troop deaths. I could go on a similar tirade about where the war has and has not gotten us, but you so already know what I'm going to say anyways.

So, I'll just say, "blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." That, and I shall always support our troops.
