A New Post: Sorry For The Lack Of Updates

WOW! It's been the better part of a month since I last made a post.

Let's see, since my last post:

1. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed, then immediately replaced. His death was symbolic and didn't really mean anything.

2. Seven Marines & 1 Sailor currently face murder charges for an assult on Iraqi citizens.


3. We reached the 2,500 deaths mark for U.S. troops in Iraq. So far, there have been about 310 deaths in Ahfghanistan & we've been there since 2001.

4. The Democrats offered two bills in Congress for pulling out of Iraq, one nearly immediate withdrawl, the other a phased withdrawl. The Republicans decided to blindly follow President Bush by rejecting both measures.

Number 3 is an extremely sad event. Why did so many soldiers have to die? What's out plan for exiting Iraq? And most of all, What's President Bush feeling right now? Does he even care?

NOT JUST A NUMBER---

I found this animation from Peace Takes Courage, a website dedicated to, well, peace. I think everybody should watch this quick animation. Really helps remind you about the Iraq war:

Peace Takes Courage

I'll try to keep this place updated a little more. Until next time.
