> Hiding Our War Dead. Italy Publicly Honors Its War Dead, America Hides Its Dead

Gail:

You are so right. Bush and his regime are afraid to let the American public see the horror they have unleashed on the children that he has sent to war. They know only too well that the outcry would be immediate and a call to pull out of Iraq would soon follow. Moreover, since Bush saw fit to shirk his military service, he has no experience in facing the reality of combat. More than Bush’s failure however, is the unconsionable failure of our once free media. They are now corporate controlled tools for the neo-conservatives and all others who are afraid to face the truths about Iraq. America will long regret this period of history when it abandoned its sense of honor and commitment to truth. Those who voted for Bush in 2004 should bear the greatest shame for compromising our national values.
