NY Times June 28, 2008
The Department of Defense has identified 4,096 American service members who have died since the start of the Iraq war.
Yet, the Senate yesterday, on a In a 92 to 6 vote, approved unrestricted funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that allows continuation of the current military course of action through the end of President Bush's term and beyond.
When do we as Americans demand our Congress listen to we, who elected them? The 4,096 who are now confirmed dead are only the tip of the iceberg. Easily, five times that number are returning with permanent disabilities. These young men and women are our country's greatest national resource yet we are allowing Congress to had fuel to the flames- destroying our legacy- our children.
Think about it. Then take action by letting your congressman know what you feel about the war in the Mideast. There is a difference between supporting the brave individuals who fight for our country and allowing wholesale destruction of our country's greatest legacy- our children.
