Iraq and 9-11

For the past week, we’ve had a US troops casualty count in the front window of the house. Surprisingly, we’ve not gotten egged, t-p’d, or brick-through-the-windowed. We did have one woman complain to our next door neighbor that she thought we should take the casualty count down, because 3000 people died on Sept 11, 2001.

Now, complaining to our next door neighbor instead of us doesn’t speak well to this woman’s logic in the first place, but why on earth should we not be aware of how many soldiers are dying because other people are already dead?

These are our troops.

They are fighting for us.

How can we put these adorable little yellow “we support the troops” stickers on our cars and at the same time not acknowledge those men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice?

What kind of country wages a war and yet refuses to honor its war dead? And goes so far as to discourage its citizens FROM even mentioning them? How totally…barbaric.

And why, oh, why do they keep telling me how many people died on 9-11? Nearly 3000. Yes, I know. I remember. I get it. Thanks.

What the hell does that have to do with anything? Even if you believe, wrongly, that Saddam Hussein was involved in 9-11, why would that mean that we can’t acknowledge that our troops are fighting in Iraq, and over 1060 of them have died? Should we not hold funerals or let families mourn, because 3000 people died horribly 3 years ago?

I’m at a loss.

Is this woman suggesting that somehow, because 3000 people died on 9-11, that we have to send more soldiers to their deaths? How, exactly, do these 1060 deaths help?

Have 1060 deaths made any of those 3000 civilians come back to life?

Have 1060 deaths brought Osama Bin Laden–the man actually responsible for 9-11–to justice?

Have 1060 deaths ended the power of the Taliban–who harbored Bin Laden and Al Queda–in Afghanistan?

Have 1060 deaths secured our ports, reinforced our airplane cockpit doors, protected our chemical and nuclear plants, or improved our tracking of known terrorists in the US?

Have 1060 deaths stopped any planned terrorist attack?

No.

All right. So how many more deaths will it take?
