How Many Americans Have to Die in Iraq?

We should continually ask ourselves that question. Are 4,087 dead and 30,333 wounded not enough to realize there has been enough blood spilled? Remind yourself of the lives lost to this unnecessary occupation by visiting the casualties page at AntiWar.com. We all need a good slap in the face now and then. If that isn't good enough, then have a glance at the faces of those who've died.

Yes, We Brought Freedom to Iraq

Neocons love to list off the many reasons why it was good to liberate Iraq. Of course Islam takes a lot of heat. Subjugation of women is a big one for lots of neoconservatives. Many Christian neocons believe we need to overthrow all governments that have Muslims within their ranks; if we don't do it, they will come over here and make our women wear burkhas and subject us to Sharia law.

Our occupation of Iraq, however, has led to an increase in the persecution of Christians and galvanization of the more radical Muslims. A perfect example is here. Archbishop Paulos Faraj Rahho of Mosul, whose body was found yesterday, was one of the highest Catholic clergymen in Iraq. Our invasion and occupation did not bring freedom; if anything it has brought out the more brutal elements.

Please, fellow Christians, if you still support this war, just look at the impact it is having on Christians in that part of the world.
