That's how many U.S. military personnel have died in Iraq. That's the ugly number I come back to today on my first post since last week.
I fear that this number has indeed become merely a statistic to many Americans. It has become too large to really understand. That is, of course, unless you are friends or family of one of those three thousand eight hundred people. Because we must never forget that these are fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, sons and daughters, devoted friends. These are real people. Who are now gone. Forever.
Please, contact your Senators and Representatives and tell them how you feel. Clearly the leadership is not there in either party to bring this debacle to an end. It's up to we the people.
