6. Same picture

on the front of our paper - minus the cutesy slogan.

I expect the Iraqi children of Fallujah being injured and killed are not terribly appreciative about their "butts" being used to sell newspapers, and also expect that we are setting up these Marlboro men for decades of grief, depression, and anger as they process that some of the "butts" they kicked belonged to children.

7. This is the "New Conservative Era"

and they don't care if children are being killed, as long as they are not in a womb or not white. These dead children are being liberated, and should be grateful.

[Ms. Toad]

12. They may not care,

But men and women of conscience who believed their government when they were told that going to Iraq was vital to our national security will probably be tortured the rest of their lives by the children whose lives they have taken or forever altered - for a war that was never about our national security in the first place.

It is those individuals about whom I am concerned (in addition to the Iraqi people), particularly the ones from poverty stricken US communities who saw little opportunity for climbing out of poverty other than joining the military.

8. At least two "Marlboro Men"(the actors) died of lung cancer

Of course, there are several more immediate risks for this poor soldier...
