The price we are paying for national greed and lust for power is too high. American service members are not a ghostly, faceless mass of 'troops.' They are flesh-and-blood individuals; our sons, daughters, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews. They are America's children -- her present, her future. Those troops I have known -- artillerymen, engineers, infantrymen -- are dedicated to their mission. They will do as they are told. They are proud of their country, will go to great lengths to protect it and, if necessary, are willing to die for its freedom. Unfortunately, more of them every day are called upon to do so. Although the media steadfastly refuses to acknowledge it, 1,331 US troops have been slaughtered in Iraq. Tonight, 16 families will bow their heads and pray for the safety of their children, not knowing they are already dead...
