We've reached the one-year anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
As you pause to remember and honor all the patriotic American men and women who have served over the past 12 months, who have risked their well-being in sacrificing their bodies and, too often, their lives, please save a little time, too, to honor and mourn the many thousands of innocent Iraqis who have lost their lives in this struggle (not to mention the many thousands more who have been wounded and maimed).
The Pentagon refuses to acknowledge them, preferring to pretend they don't exist. But we know better, and we must remember that the Iraqi people were not and are not our enemies, though they have bled and died just as if they were.
Remember our troops in your thoughts and prayers (and perhaps by joining me in contributing to the Armed Forces Relief Trust). Then honor them in November by doing your small part to unseat the lying skunks who placed them all in harm's way on false pretenses.
