The 24 deaths on Saturday — and two others on Friday — bring the total for U.S. military deaths in January to 50 and the number since the Iraq war began to 3,054, including seven civilian contractors of the Defense Department.

OK, maybe it isn’t safer but Iraqis are much better off than they were under Saddam’s opressive regime, right?

Iraqi civilian casualties for 2006: 34,452.

Our government has initiated a war under false pretenses that makes a mockery of American ideals, has curtailed our civil liberties and causes its citizens to be complicit in the murders of thousands upon thousands of human beings.

March for peace, Jan 27th, Washington D.C.
