Stupid, stupid, wasteful war

I'm sitting here stunned because the bad news I received yesterday about an old high school friend's Apache helicopter being shot down in Iraq, has gotten worse. Not only was he confirmed dead, but he appears in a video where his bloody, burning body is being dragged across a field by Iraqi insurgents. He was 25.
Tim's mother and father have lost their son. His sister has lost her brother. And his young wife Katherine is now a widow, left to care for their 10-month-old baby who will never know her father.
