Acknowledging that people die in wars is anti-war, right? So visiting a war memorial is a left-wing, pacifist statement? Don't tell all the veterans at The Wall that their visit there makes them hippies.

Yes, I'm still on about the lack of notice our Iraq dead are getting. I suppose I'm a little obsessed with death lately, though not in the Edgar Allen Poe way my high school English teacher always used to accuse me of.

I can't say anything better about the latest Iraq media flap than this did.
