Why 3K?

Well, we've finally reached 3,000 dead US soldiers in Iraq. And the right-wing pundits will be stressing all this week that 3,000 is "just a number" like they did when the toll hit 2,000. But it's not a number, it's 3,000 young lives that could have been spent a hell of a lot more productively, not to mention the 20,000+ disabled US soldiers and at least 6-figures of Iraqi dead. And great, they hanged a thoroughly despicable dictator -- but do you feel any safer than you did on September 12, 2001?

Troops home now.

Here's to a better 2007.
