Fighting the War on Error

"You measure a democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists."

A late Memorial Day video tribute


I know, this one's late, but it's still worth a look. It's a well-done video tribute to Connecticut's war dead. And this is just one state. I cannot even imagine what it's like for some of the other states. I don't have the numbers, but I know my home state of Pennsylvania has been hit particularly hard with war dead and wounded.

What our troops, and their friends and families are going through is just unspeakable. And it's far from over. Since a progress report is due in September, you can bet that this summer is going to be a bloody one. President Bush even said as much the other day, predicting a "tough August."

Since commanders want to be able to say that we are turning the corner when it's time to report to Congress in September, so you can bet July and August are going to be very tough on our military.

We need to continue to demand that this war come to an end.
