Sugar-coated caskets?

On May 6th, 2007 (Sunday) 12 US soldiers were killed.

This means there have been 25 US soldiers killed in the first 7 days of May.

Does that sound like success to you?

How about the death of 20 Iraqis trying to shop at a market?

It seems to me that all the killing is more a force of habit than a force of hope. They kill us because we're there, and we kill them for the same reason. Meanwhile, lunatics are blowing themselves up at the markets in order to show-off to Allah.

How does presidential stubbornness make a thing like that better?

Isn't it time for a political surge that ends this war before it gets even worse?

I prefer donuts to the dozen over deaths.

Perhaps with Roadblock Republicans it is the other way around?

Isn't it better to have a sugar-coated donut than a sugar-coated presidential pronouncement prolonging a problematic war?

I think so, but I'm partial to donuts.
