It might be nice to acknowledge Iraqis who are killed as well -- such as the six who were killed by an errant U.S. air strike, for example.

To be precise: "AN air strike by a US Apache helicopter near the central Iraq city of Samarra on Saturday killed six Iraqis and wounded two, an anti-Qaeda leader and the American military said."
But dead Iraqis don't count.

Looks like someone's not real happy over at Fux Noiz:
"This morning on "Fox and Friends," Brian Kilmeade walked off the set after a dispute with his co-hosts Gretchen Carlson (she who celebrates deadly floods) and Steve Doocy over Obama's comment that his grandmother is a "typical white person." Kilmeade argued that the remark needed to be taken in context and eventually got so fed up with his co-hosts that he walked off set."
The "Fux and Friends" crew are some of the stupidest jackasses on the TV.
Also, Chris Wallace flipped out on his show for the 'Obama bashing that goes on over there'.

Alright, this is gonna sound self-righteous, but so be it.
I did everything I knew how to do before the war began to tell my fellow Americans, and warn the major decision-makers, that this war should not happen, and that tens of thousands of people would have their lives senselessly and unjustly destroyed as a result of it.
My fellow Americans, the media, and most of the people in government chose not to listen to me or to those like me.
As far as I'm concerned, my conscience is clear regarding what has since transpired, and continues to transpire.
Sure, I'm pissed about how I've had to suffer economically, or about the human suffering the war has brought about. But guilt, at this point, is not something that I feel.

Pennsylvania is around the corner and a large victory is excepted. Polls in West Virginia also strongly favor her. Polls in North Carolina that have favored Obama are now virtually tied. There will be big surprises in North Carolina.
Hear the words of a crazy white racist mofo, his time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:
First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.
Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.
Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the ’60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream.
Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks — with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas — to advance black applicants over white applicants.
Good GOD! He can't possibly be that stupid, can he?

Sorry, I do. But not personal guilt. There is a difference. American guilt is ours. Granted it is not a vicious and damning as the guilt that should infest those who clamored for war. But it is there. Of course our minimal societal guilt is compounded with the sadness we feel for the soldiers and their families and the Iraqi people whose lives we have ruined - so it works out about the same.

Most shocking part was the meeting with the Viet vet, who had same/similar injury and who was hospitalized for 12 months with 4 months follow-on PT. The Iraq vet was in hospital for 2 1/2 months, and had received negligible PT.
It inspired me to seek out Tomas Young's soundtrack for the film. Trailer.

There was broadcast on German television last week of a BCC docu about Obama — it was well made and my SO was very impressed with him. I heard Michelle for the first time, giving a speech, quite impressive.
