Bob Herbert's "Driving Blind as the Deaths Pile Up"

Herbert's column via TruthOutOrg: "In addition to the more than 2,000 dead, an additional 15,000 Americans have been wounded. Some of these men and women have sacrificed 1, 2 and even 3 limbs. Some have been permanently blinded and others permanently paralyzed - some both. Some have been horribly burned. For the Iraqis, the toll is beyond hideous. Perhaps 30,000 dead, of which an estimated 10% have been children. The number of Iraqi wounded is anybody's guess... Even Nixon's cronies are crawling out of the woodwork to urge the Bush gang to stop the madness... But Pres Bush, who never gave the country a legitimate reason for going to war, and has never offered a coherent strategy for winning the war, seems in no hurry to figure out a way to exit the war." Killing 1000s and 1000s of living, breathing, walking, talking children who are loved and love back is so pro-life, no?
