Today is the 4th anniversary of the Iraq war. Four years ago today (the day after my birthday), the US launched a war of choice.
People who know me probably know where I stand on this war. What's interesting is that we mark 4 years today, and yet there isn't often a mark of the other war -- one that's been going on even longer.
Nobody marched for that one. No one did call in shows. The US media doesn't even seem to count casualties. Just so you know, the US counts 359.
But this is about Iraq. And this post is meant only to mark the date. For a point of reference, this war is 6 months younger than our marriage. It's 3 years and 3 month's and two days older than Autumn. It's gone on longer than World War II. It has cost a lot of money. Thus, the date is marked.
