ALERT! Moment of silence at Noon today for 2,500 dead

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060615/ts_nm/iraq_usa_toll_dc_1

It's been announced by the Pentagon that 2,500 soldiers have died in Iraq. Let's do a non-demoninational moment of silence for those who died...as well as the thousands we killed under our name for this bullshit war.

I'm doing it...hope you all join in.

1. Would make sense if we shared the same noon.

What are you using for reference - EST ? That would make your noon 5pm here in the UK on GMT.

2. That would be excellent if a Dem Congressman asked for a moment..

of silence out of respect of the 2500 dead and the families of all those dead and wounded. What would be the Republican reaction??
