RIP
We honor those who gave their life to their country today, including those who did so (all to often) in promotion of ill advised and/or badly carried out ends. This is not meant to disrespect the dead, though suggesting they are all saints doesn't work either, but those who "led" them. I also caught, on You Tube, Marisa Tomei (powerfully) performing a speech of Cindy Sheehan. As CS said -- even when you speak to the choir (majority against current policy), you need for it to sing. If enough do loudly enough, we might truly have a chance to truly memorialize our dead.
