On a serious note, I came across this site and its given me the creeps. Apart from the "progress" being made in Iraq, the number of people, both military and civillian, who have lost their lives is reason enough for the United States to fast track an exit strategy out of the Middle East.
Many of the faces belong to bodies younger than mine, or only slightly older. All of these people would have been like me - they have ambition, they want to make something of their lives, to serve their country, and all they have served in is a point less occupation, which more and more seems like Vietnam, and later the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. The others, 30 plus, must have left behind wives, children, parents, siblings...what a tragedy.
