   The candle that DianeL first lit many months ago, and which has become such an important part of these diaries since, is still available here.

   You can copy that image into your own comment (you can leave it on my server), craft your own image, and/or rate this one – not for mojo, but to leave a small mark after taking this moment – as a sign that you know, but do not approve, and are not resigned.

   Well over 95% of Americans, including Congress and White House staff, have no personal connection to this war–no relative or friend serving in Iraq. Over 99% of us have made no sacrifice for this war–we have not paid one more penny of taxes nor shed a drop of family blood. One of my military relatives thinks of it this way: “The American military is at war, but America is not at war.”

   The one unifying characteristic that all of us men in make-up on political chat shows share is fear of combat. Every one of us has done everything we can to avoid combat or even being fitted for a military uniform. Just like George Bush, Bill Clinton, and Dick Cheney, we are all combat cowards. It takes a very special kind of combat coward to advocate combat for others. It’s the kind of thing that can get you as angry as Charlie Rangel.

   over 3,000 Iraqis were killed in October. Where oh where is the outrage? This is a slow but sure genocide. When is enough enough?

   I mean think about it! That is more Iraqis in one month than American soldiers during the whole illegal occupation. God this country’s policy is so sick.
