NEW PORT RICHEY - Sgt. Michael Rowe was in the lead vehicle when an explosive device was detonated near his convoy in Rutbah, Iraq.

Fellow soldiers quickly pulled him out of the vehicle.

"He just looked over, smiled, and that was it," his father Dave Rowe said. "I firmly believe that he smiled because God's hand was coming down to take him away."

Rowe died on March 28, the day before his 24th birthday. He is the 116th soldier from Florida who has died in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

1. "God's hand was coming down to take him away"

Well, I guess if it makes you feel better about losing your son because of jr's mistakes, okay, it was God that killed him.

2. Such an innocent life given for W's deceitful war

and the mother(wife) will become one of those detested single mothers whom the GOP will be cursing for being a drain on society.

3. Having a picture of the poor kid just makes this a hundred times sadder.

And more personal.

4. Blood on hand of GWB

and those nasty representative in SENATE and Congress.

Good soldiers do their job, war is bad, soldiers die.

But evil war make evil soldiers so war becomes more then bad.
Good soldiers run away, good soldiers go crazy, good soldiers sometimes turn to evil path cause soul taint by all deeds. WAR IS BAD but EVIL WAR is a danger to humanity.
