Another gold star has been handed out, this one to Paul E. Schroeder for losing his son Edward in Iraq.
He has a lot to say about how/why his son died and they are words that no doubt piss off the Bush administration.
A Life, Wasted
I keep hoping that somehow a letter like this is going to fire a small spark of understanding among my fellow Americans about Iraq. Losing a child has got to be bad enough, but feeling it was a waste has got to sting.
These gold-star families speaking out are speaking out for a reason and it ain't treason. They want to save the children of others from dying for nothing.
The Bush administration has been an unrepentant failure since deciding to attack Iraq in response to 911. It must indeed be a nightmare to entrust your child to these ignorant, arrogant people.
Life is more precious than these machine men pretend.
