But the cause of this young soldier and son losing his life were lies by a president who will try and salvage his legacy at any cost, and a culture that is addicted to militarism.
You cannot separate the two. Please make the connections so that other sons and daughters do not have to die, along with chidren and women in Iraq.
Also, as a tax payer who is funding the troops in Iraq and their funerals, you had better believe I am going to work to try and bring them home, starting with impeaching the Commander in Chief! I do not want my money to pay for one more death. I happen to value their lives more than political bipartisanship and manipulation.

The U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq was illegal from the beginning.
Bush did not allow the UN Weapons Inspectors to complete their job, he pre-emptively invaded Iraq (which is a war crime), he manipulated military intelligence and falsified documents in order to support an invasion, Iraq had no association with al Qaeda (they hated each other) and now the Oil Cartels are reaping a profit, while U.S. soldiers are needlessly dying and our monies (over $600 billion) continues to fund an imperial war.
I am not sure when Americans will become more savy in world affairs and more assertive politically here at home. Until then, there will be hundreds of thousands of more innocent Iraqis killed and millions of more who will become refugees.
Before you condemn me, I am a veteran of the U.S. invasion of Panama where I witnessed our APC's running over and slaughtering 5000 civilians. We left 60,000 homeless.
Beware of the addictions to Militarism and Americanism!!!

As you wish.
However, the article was not apolitical since it dealt with the the war in Iraq and since your brother was part of the U.S. Army.
Still, you are in my prayers and thoughts as are the other troops and people in Iraq.
