Happy 4th Anniversary

Today, March 20, 2007 marks the fourth year since the start of the War in Iraq. To date there have been exactly 3,225 US casualties in the war and a staggering 23,417 wounded. And keep in mind that's just the United State's soldiers alone. On the Iraqi side, there have been 6,311 killed and an estimated 26,230?. So according to my calculations, 806 American soldiers die every year in the War. What happens when the United States pulls out in 3 years? 2,419 more Americans will die making the total reach 5,644. It's time for congress to do something about this and try to get our soldiers out of Iraq as soon as possible. I'm sure that this process won't happen overnight and will be somewhat of a slow process, maybe a year to a year and a half. However the idea can be conspired overnight and it is time for the American citizens to take charge to prevent more and more American soldiers from dying everyday for absolutely nothing. In four years over in Iraq, the only accomplishment we made was finding Saddam. I found this image of the United States representing where all of the American soldiers who died lived. Please America, don't let there be a fifth!
