Wednesday, Bloody Wednesday!

Four more families got to pick up the final tab for Bush's imperial misadventure.The number of American families that will never get to see their loved ones is officially 1453, but that number is actually somewhat higher when you consider all the private contractors who are just as dead.

When you go there, read about the lucky ones like Isaac Croteau who is in a coma after being shot in the face three times. Lucky like Cpl John T. Schmitt III who suffered severe burns to his face, esophagus and lungs.

The good news is that volunteers customized the home of "Cana" Multiauople who is never expected to walk again.

I can't even bear to look at what the Iraqis might be going through today.

When will it be enough?

That is a serious question. You have probably seen the news fawning about how well recieved Condi Rice was in France. Didn't anybody hear what she was saying?

We can't export freedom and democracy everywhere by ourselves. We need more cannon fodder for the next war. Get your kids in there so we can start another one in Iran or Syria or wherever the needle lands.

In case you didn't notice, the more freedom we export, the less we have for ourselves. I ask you again, when will it be enough? What is to be gained by all this?
