From Christian Lowe at Military.com Depleted U.S. Forces Concerns Chairman.
If we are not properly supplying those already in combat, if we are not properly taking care of our Veterans, plus the ones we are making each and every day with serious injuries, with lives ending, how do we rationalize going for more regime change?
From Newsweek, Jonathan Alter, and MSNBC A Fatal Dose
A rash of drug overdoses at a Veterans Administration hospital in California raises new questions about the quality of military health care. Please do not let the issue of the care of our Veterans slide into the back pages of the papers, or off our TV screens. Contact Congress, Contact the White House, and DEMAND what is right.
From Move On If You Like War With Iraq....
From CNN General: Insurgents used kids as cover, then killed them. This is horrid, grotesque, and not acceptable, but it is not the first time or the first war where this was done. Perhaps we need to accept that this is done, has been done, and will continue to be done, until we find better ways to solve our problems. Again, we simply refuse to accept what we know about war.

Read Jerry Wenstrom's review of Loving.
Rhea and Jordan Devereaux had it all: undying devotion, a tender love, and a grand passion. And then the Vietnam War separated them. Follow the course of their love across time and space. Journey with them through the steaming jungle; dance with the Mardi Gras revelers while revolution unseats Louis XVI and protestors on the Washington Mall scream, Hell, NO. We won't Go. Sail with Laffite's pirates into Devil's Isle and rejoice as an unconditional and timeless love emerges victorious.
