Stole this from another thread to make sure you all saw it:

This insane war just underlies everything that is wrong with this country. Most people will read this story and just blow it off. This was someone's daughter, mother of a 9 year old girl, 29 years old and just beginning to know life.
I doubt W is mourning this loss. He killed Zarqawi this morning you know. They'll cloth her death in all the patriotic crapola they always do. I have 2 daughters near that age.
There have been 2489 American deaths in Iraq, each one leaving a huge hole in their loved one's lives.

Edit to add - in case you'd forgotten why we must work hard to elect Braley and Loebsack and Spencer and Boswell!

1. Very sad . . .

Its time for us to insist that every Democrat leader and candidate call for our withdrawal from Iraq! Enough of the hedging like John Kerry did in 2004. Dave Loebsack has been wiggling on this. If Dave hasn't gotten his position right on Iraq yet, he needs to get it right now!

Get the hell out of Iraq now!
