War death count

Every morning I have the self-imposed unpleasant duty of checking the number of war casualties and updating the little box at right entitled "They died for you and me."

I hope every visitor checks it religiously and just pauses a moment to reflect on what it means, and I hope they occasionally visit the two links in that box - "see the faces ..." and "the voice of ..." because those visits will intensify your realization of what's happening with Bush's warS.

It isn't just Iraq; it's also Afghanistan. They are virtually the same, yet national media today are reporting deaths over there as having surpassed 4,000 when in fact the total is much higher.
