There is so much to say about this, and yet I can't find the words today. We have reached our four thousandth fatality in a war based on a lie. On NPR today, a reported said that the death toll among Iraqi citizens is over a million. We will be paying for this war in ways large and small long after it is over--even more frightening is the fact that all the consequences are not yet foreseeable.
CodePink has encouraged people to form vigils and protests surrounding this tragic milestone in a war that seems without end (click on the title of this post for the link). The YouTube video I'm sharing today shows a "freeze protest" in Washington DC's Union Station. The five-year-anniversary of the war and the four thousandth death are surely two of the saddest milestones in the news this month.
