There is no gain without a lot of death and pain in a neo-con world
Today we marked a new high; 1500 soldiers died in Iraq. No fan fare no news special. It is just one more number in a war that does not seem to have an end. There are thousands of disabled but they don't count at all. They are invisible to everyone except their families who have to live with their shattered minds and bodies.
My heart goes out to the families and friends of the dead and wounded soldiers. I also feel bad for the dead and wounded innocent Iraqis who got in the way of Bush's ambitions. It takes a lot of misery to support a neo-con administration and they are not afraid of administering as much pain and suffering as necessary to shape the world according to their ideology.
