WE'VE NOW REACHED 2,000 BRAVE YOUNG LIVES TAKEN

The Iraqi constitutional vote was finally announced earlier today, and it was noted that the majority of those who cast their ballots did so in favour of the new document.

Meanwhile, the 2,000th American soldier has perished there. We don't know who, but the most recent announcements from the Department of Defense include one soldier killed Saturday by a roadside bomb, and three Marines who died in combat Friday.

We should all strongly support and pray for our men and women in uniform who take the risk on our behalf. While we may strongly disagree with and question the reasons that our political leaders make decisions such as the ones to use military force in Iraq and Afghanistan, we should remember that those are political decisions...and hold those individuals who we elected responsible for their actions, at the ballot box or in the courthouse.
