Three U.S. troops died in Iraq today; the 4K milestone approaches

Today, three more U.S. soldiers died in Iraq. This brings the total of U.S. troop fatalities in the current Iraq war to 3,996.

We're four deaths away from the grim milestone of 4,000. Unfortunately, it is likely that we'll reach that number within the next few days.

Don't forget that the American Friends Service Committee and their partner organizations are coordinating events and vigils that will be held across the U.S. on the day after the 4,000th death is announced.

According to a recent CBS poll, 64 percent of Americans believe that the results of this war were not worth the loss of American life and other costs of attacking Iraq. We can drive the point home by supporting and attending these vigils.

The presidential candidates (especially McCain) need to see how we feel.
