A Reminder/Update
Oct. 24th, 2005 12:48 amHey.
Just to let you know that I'm still keeping track...
American deaths in the "G.W.O.T." (what a contemptible lie!) remain around two servicemen per day. There hasn't been an escalation or a de-escalation, the rate has pretty much held steady.
Compare two soldiers/day now to ten/day in Desert Storm, or fifteen/day in the Vietnam War, or thirty/day in the Korean War...or over three hundred/day in the two World Wars and the American Civil War.
While I've come to the conclusion that neither war nor peace is "the answer" to the problems of the Middle East--because there ARE no answers--I'm also thinking the "war" is a sham.
