Those antiwar people who take down pics of soldiers who died in Iraq because the parents don't like it -- I have no patience with them. American soldiers have no business in Iraq, period. So as long as the occupation is going on -- as long as Iraqis die there all the time, with American weaponry, under an American occupying force -- I have no pangs of conscience whatsoever about the death of a man in a city that has been held up as a model of the occupation. So -- it is as silly to hesitate using the murder of Vincent to make the point that the lies and propaganda of the side he supported is ridiculous as it would be to hesitate using the 9/11 attack as a casus belli because some of the people who died in it were undoubtedly pacifists. Public lives, public deaths, public comment.Roger Gathmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257400843748041639noreply@blogger.com
