Bad News
30, 15, 60, 23 killed in insurgent attacks in Iraq...sorry to damper the mood guys, but this is killing me piece by piece. I feel sick everytime I read the news...physically ill. I suppose I should read about the Michael Jackson trial or how Paula Abdul helped a contestant of American Idol two years ago...diversion? No! In a market economy, self-delusion? But of course not.
Anyway, could you imagine living in a place where this is as much of the routine as brushing your teeth? Maybe I should just delete this and not send...but I will...why is this happening? How can people do this to each other? What "interest," value, or ideology is worth one person...much less 60?! 60 people! Can you even imagine if one person you loved times 3? I do not know what to say...I cannot say anything...

ITS ABOUT TIME someone made this emapthetic correlation (imagine if someone you know died multiplied by...) I know this is sad, but I wanted to say how much I agree with you, and that every day when I open the paper- I read the counts and my mood sinks and I am only lucky that I don't have any close family in Iraq- but all of the people there are close to someone.
I am glad you wrote the blog because these sentiments and statistics need to be known.
What's more horrible is that many people here don't respond to numbers NOR try to put themselves in the situation of the hundreds of thousands of people suffering through the "war".
I hate to say I expect more bad news-I have never felt so much distrust towards our government than I do now-
It is sooooo jmportant to be aware of current events- because even when Americans are not in war, there are so many trajedies that occur daily (starving and Aids in Africa - genocide and dictatorships- and people on the streets 2 blks away from me)... ok- now I can't say more
