Death Hits "Refresh"
Why have I spent so much of my week hitting refresh on my browser to see if someone has died? What have we become? We KNOW these people are going to die...we all are, it's like paint drying. Why aren't we focusing on people who aren't supposed to be dying today? If Christians showed such outpouring for every U.S. soldier killed in Iraq, yesterday's painfully conclusive report that we did not need to be there would receive much more priority and outrage than breaking news on a urinary tract infection.

1. There's much truth in what you say and there should be such an..
outpouring as you say for the deaths of servicemen. The sanctity of life should really be true and respectful of all living. Life is too short and should be precious for everyone really.

2. But it's over for 1500+ U.S. military and 100,000+ Iraqi civilians.
They paid the supreme sacrifice for nothing but a scam. There are no words to adequately express the horror and immorality of that.

5. That's one of the best headlines I've ever read!
And an important, thoughtful post message, too!
