War Protest Vigil on 4th Ave Bridge
Submitted by Robert Whitlock on Wed, 11/22/2006 - 6:52pm.3,000 in Iraq?
Submitted by The Fire Inside on Thu, 11/23/2006 - 9:06am.CNN just reported three more Marines were killed today and said that raised the total to a little more than 2,800.
EDIT: Nevermind, I just read the sentence below. It's in anticipation of the 3,000th death.
About the "not another life lost," though. Is this an advocation for an immediate withdrawl from the country by American forces?
I wouldn't mind seeing an immediate exit by American forces, but you need to be aware there are going to be some depressing consequences. My cousin said last week their translator (who gave himself the name "Rick James") is worried that American troops will leave the country before it is stable. His worry? That he and his family will be executed for cooperating with the Americans. Prepare for a repeat of the horror stories the South Vietnamese told after the US left their country. I guess that's the price you pay for believing the United States has a powerful military.
