In my north Georgia town, city workers line Main Street with crosses and flags every Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Each cross carries the name of a dead veteran along with the war in which he or she served.
My sister Judy, visiting around Memorial Day, remarked: "Boy, there must have been a lot of accidents on this road."
After Main Street was full of mini memorials, the city started using the primary east/west highway through town. I've seen a few "Persian Gulf War" markers but no "Operation Iraqi Freedoms," yet. Makes me wonder how many dead veterans Bush's failed imperialistic policies have made so far today. And it makes me realize how the attack on Falluja failed to contain the opposition because of the administration's selfish plan to hold off until after the election. The fighters, the cowardly neck choppers, and their leaders escaped to fight another day, yesterday and today in fact.
What a mess. Draft young Republicans first.
