Regarding Vietnam...What is the cost of 58,000? Beyond that simple number, what does 58,000 mean?
If you have been to the Vietnam Memorial, and saw the names on the wall, you begin to understand what 58,000 means and feel closer to them in their brave sacrifice. We should NOT do away with the memorial and we SHOULD see the dead, because the belong to US and, lest they remain an abstaction, must be embraced and honored. In the same way, we should be "exposed" to our fallen in Iraq, either in pictures of their faces as current projects to honor the Iraqi War dead are addressing, or in pictures of the caskets...or in any other way that allows us to witness their loss in our name. There is NOTHING disgusting about the fact that they lie in those caskets, draped with the flag of our country, and any suggestion that there is sullies their sacrifice. |

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt and the 1 year trip to the country to show for it. I know intimately what those 58,000 mean ... I knew some of them very personally.
we SHOULD see the dead
Why? Does it make it more "real"? Is their sacrifice then somehow a ’better’ sacrifice? Or does it just make great TV?
Will you promise no one will exploit their sacrifice to support their political ends?
For the life of me I can’t understand why is it so important to release images of their sacrifice to those who will use them in the fight against that for which they died. |

You are wrong.
There will not be a "casket orgy" of any sort.
IF they spend any time on the issue they’ll show a few pictures and quickly move on.
There just aren’t large numbers of people who give a damn EITHER WAY on the matter of US troops killed in Iraq. The MSM will reflect the widespread ambivalence to the deaths of Americans in Iraq.
The MSM will spend more time on gas prices because THAT is what most people REALLY care about. Just watch. |

Demanding to see pictures of flag draped coffins IS disgusting and the fact the pictures will be spun into political fodder by the same people demanding to see the pictures is more disgusting.

Is there any reason that they need more than one such picture? One flag draped coffin looks like another. |

Timing, as they say, is everything.

What’s there to "counter" in last night’s press conference? Other than the fact that television fans were pissed off at having their sweeps shows preempted by his babbling, there isn’t any there there to "counter." Bush is old news, and will be until and unless he’s deported to the Hague to answer for his crimes.

The conduct of an illegal and immoral war of aggression. The Hague isn’t responsible for trying him for things like drunk driving and desertion.

"Defined as how?"
We’re two years into the war now, and it’s obvious that most people have reached their own conclusions. I’ve reached mine, you’ve reached yours. I’m no longer interested in debating whose conclusions are correct, but rather in seeing mine acted upon.

Yours being acted upon would be an utter disaster, Mr. Knapp.
To say nothing of it being exactly the opposite of the will of the AMerican people.
But, pray, do continue to press on. It will doubtless be of great aid to getting a Democrat elected. Just like it helped John Kerry.
