5. Bush dogma against reality
With our troops paying the ultimate cost. The U.S. doesn't want any more of this.

6. If it were still in regular publication, this would have been in LIFE
magazine. I can't recall seeing anything so moving and powerful since the days of the Vietnam protests. And the really disgusting part is that some RW nut is going to try to rationalize or spin this into something it isn't. But THIS TIME, they won't get away with it.

How long until Sean Hannity demands the ACLU file suit to remove the liberal's religious displays?

17. Remember these extraordinary photos when Cindy wins the Nobel Prize.
Simple and moving, like Cindy and her friends' protest.

Thanks for these wonderful photos.

19. The crosses are a powerful visual.
I hope Cindy's lawyers are working on moving them up to the WH in September. The crosses need to follow the Crawford Coward.

23. no, not really
I mean the link to the page on Yahoo where you can rate it 5 stars. Looks like this:

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/050812/photos_ts/mdf640533

If you right click on the picture, it's just the location of the picture. Sorry for any misunderstanding. I'm just making a suggestion. I know it's harder work, but it's harder still for us to find it, and hopefully the benefit of a higher rating on Yahoo! will mean something to someone and get Yahoo! to cover Cindy more.

24. Thank you for those pictures Bush_Eats_Beef
They were beautiful. The Crawford crosses were a great idea. Solemn and powerful. Bill Mitchell who also lost his son is a wonderful, powerful presence there as well.

Hugs to all the families for all they have sacrificed.

31. Dear God, I can't get to the end of these photos without starting to cry.
DAMN bush. All the blood and the tears from this war are squarely on his head and on his cold, hard, blackened soul. I'd say they were also on his conscience, but I'm not completely certain that he has one. What a poor excuse for a human being. I'm glad he's in Texas. That will get him accustomed to the heat - since it's bound to be rawther stifling where he's headed after he dies.
