The most tragic part of this story is that most of these marines were from the same small town in Ohio.

The news out of Iraq is more depressing every month with absolutely no end in sight.

QFE.

Young lives taken away...for what ?

You are correct and things look set to get a whole lot worse.

The truth which [US President George W] Bush, [US Secretary of State Condoleezza] Rice and [US Defense Secretary Donald] Rumsfeld hide from you is that the only way out from Iraq is immediate withdrawal, and any delay in this decision will only mean more deaths and more losses.

If you don't leave today, then you shall inevitably leave tomorrow but after scores of thousands of fatalities and double that number of disabled and wounded people.

The al-Qaeda deputy said: "Blair has brought you destruction to the heart of London, and he will bring more destruction, God willing."

"If you continue the same policy of aggression against Muslims, God willing, you will see the horror that will make you forget what you had seen in Vietnam

Bushs response

We will stay on the offense against these people.

"They're terrorists and they're killers and they will kill innocent people... so they can impose their dark vision on the world,"

It seems we are just caught up in a endless cycle of violence.I can't even begin to think of a way out of this but surely to goodness there must be some other way.
