Today is the 5th anniversary of the U.S. led invasion of Iraq.
President Bush defends his war despite the "high cost of lives." The Houston Chronicle reports the American death toll "quietly reaches 4,000." As of today, at least 3,988 American lives have been lost. General Tommy Franks states, "We don't do body counts" but I think that General Franks might know that as many as 89,760 Iraq civilians have been killed from war related violence.
Let me quote Bob because I'm at a loss for words:
How many ears much one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
How many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
Protests against the war are taking place across the country and world throughout the month of March.
