Reluctantly

Every couple of days, I reluctantly visit iCasualties.org to offer prayers for the latest American deaths in Iraq. I am filled with such sadness as I view that names of the recently killed and injured. There have been so many lives shattered by Bush's Iraq war. As of this minute, according to iCasualties, 4109 Americans have been killed in Iraq.
How can parents, spouses, children, relatives, and friends continue to endure this heartache? Over 30,000 military men and women are injured, and continue to rely on family for support. Everyday they are reminded of their sacrifice.

Even today, there is no exit strategy. President Bush and his best buddy, John McCain, plan to keep this war going forever. Our military, their families and friends, deserve much better than this. We thank them for their service and now we should bring them home.
