What got me most was putting a face to the dead

My computer ran for 5 minutes and it seemed like an entire city of young men and women were shown. I was very surprised when it said that was only 500 of the 2000+. I so value the sacrifice these people made but I hold such contempt for the people that sent them there under what now seems completely false pretenses.

My guess is that the more conservative members watched about 10 seconds of that video until the first message disparaging GWB came up. It's almost a shame it had that political side to it. I think it would've been just as powerful to simply show the pictures flashing by. It's when you put a face on death that it becomes real.
