I think that in the light of all the media coverage of the "2000th" death, we should also listen to what the coalition's spokesperson ( U.S. Army Lt. Col. Steve Boylan) said about it:
"The 2,000 service members killed in Iraq supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom is not a milestone. It is an artificial mark on the wall set by individuals or groups with specific agendas and ulterior motives."
He also said:
"the 2,000th Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine that is killed in action is just as important as the first that died and will be just as important as the last to die in this war against terrorism and to ensure freedom for a people who have not known freedom in over two generations."
He went on to say that we should pay more attention to what the soldiers are accomplishing in Iraq:
"Celebrate the daily milestones, the accomplishments they have secured and look to the future of a free and democratic Iraq and to the day that all of our troops return home to the heroes welcome they deserve." The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. ~Edmund Burke |
