Children of the Fallen

Over 1,000 children have lost a parent to the war in Iraq:

"The Pentagon doesn't keep these statistics, but using figures compiled by the Scripps-Howard News Service and other sources, NEWSWEEK has calculated that as of last week 1,043 American children had lost a parent in Iraq. To put it another way, nearly two years after the invasion on March 19, 2003, among the 1,508 American troops who have died as of March 11 were an estimated 450 fathers, and 7 mothers."

And for what? Really? For what?

This? This?

And though people may finally be coming around, it's too little, too late for those 1,000+ kids and their parents. And the scary thing is, I'm sure our president sleeps quite soundly at night. Even for all of this.
