3. My small town has so far not lost anyone in Iraq.

This news on DU hit me harder than had it been a neighbor's loss. I never imagined that a forum like this could have such a visceral impact. Moment's after the deaths were posted on icasualties.org, we learn that it has hit one of our own. No one is immune to the suffering except the lunatic that sent these kids to war.
