If the UN, and/or the American and European media--or for that matter,
Al-Jazeera--had the balls to demand and publish/broadcast all the names, genders, ages, occupations, hometowns, and photos of all of the Afghan and Iraqi military, insurgent, and civilian casualties, this phony war would have been over two years ago.
The ban of photos at Dover, coupled with these mini-memorials on Friday nights/Sunday mornings on network and cable news are pathetically protracted and shallow. What I propose would take hours.
They can shove those yellow ribbons and ten cent, flag lapel pins up their fucking asses.
