Iraq war casualties: We're nearing another grim milestone; vigils planned nationwide

As of this writing, 3,969 U.S. troops have died in this Iraq war. That's 31 away from a very grim milestone of 4,000.

4,000 dead U.S. troops plus countless dead Iraqi men, women, and babies. And for what? To line the pockets of the war profiteers, I guess. For everyone else, it's made matters much worse, in so many ways.

So we need to let off some steam.

To that end, the American Friends Service Committee is organizing local vigils and memorials all across the country to commemorate all the lives lost in this catastrophe.
