Four years later

The war in Iraq has been going on for four years now.

I don't know anyone who's over there and feel no connection with either the Iraqi or American cause. Truth is, I really don't care about the war in Iraq.

Except for all those lives that are going to waste. All those funny stories some guy who got blown up by a bomb could have told. At least one of the thousands who have perished could play the guitar. Draw a picture. Many left children behind. All those lullabies left unsung.

And all those lives ruined. The broken families. The businesses burned to the ground. The looted museums. All those stolen heirlooms.
