The Dispatch has an article about the war in Iraq. It seems as though nothing is being done to end the war. Stories in recent weeks have hinted that the President has lost interest in the war and in finding Osama bin Laden. The only thing I've noticed is that our service members who are being killed in Iraq are so young. Here is an excerpt from that Dispatch article:
As of Thursday, July 6, 2006, at least 2,542 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. The figure includes seven military civilians. At least 2,009 died as a result of hostile action, according to the military's numbers....
...Since the start of U.S. military operations in Iraq, 18,786 U.S. service members have been wounded, according to a Defense Department tally....
It is clear that this war will continue until the American people demand that it end. What have you done to try to end the war and bring back our sons and daughters? Have you written or called your Senator's or Representative's office? Have you written a letter to the editor of your local paper? Read or write or call. Everyone can do something to bring our kids home. Just do something.
