Three more soldiers die in Iraq. Where is the anger?

[Swede]

Why doesn't a newsnetwork go to all the funerals,visit the families? Where are all the wounded? Shouldn't someone talk to them? Is there a website that tracks KIAs and WIAs?

1. There is plenty of anger.

The wingnuts have cowed to media to report "good news".

10. Meet at Washington Memorial?

I drive past the Washington Memorial twice a day. I suppose there are ways to get around the 8-ft tall whitewashed wooden wall that's been erected around it, but I don't know where the gates are, if there are any. I'd guess that the wall encompasses roughly 3-4 football fields of space around the obelisk. I have been wondering for weeks what form this protest is going to take, when it's set to begin there: at what is perhaps the country's most recognizable geographic rallying point, currently walled off from its citizens.

I admire anyone who has the energy and drive to march. I have the heart but not the other requisites for physical protest. I hope with all my heart that the protests tomorrow are wildly successful.

5. At times, my anger is overwhelmed by sadness ...

This feels soooooo much like the Vietnam War. Faceless (to everyone but their families) kids being killed and maimed every day, whilst the government lies, and lies, and lies. They hide the dirt, and threaten the survivors. And just like Vietnam, it looks as if the really guilty ones, will walk free. At the least, they'll get book deals, new jobs with the military-industrial complex, or big dollar lobbying outfits. Ain't life grand?

I don't know how tomorrow's marches will go, but I suppose we can count on the media to downplay them all, just like they did before. What we really need, is for the families of those killed an injured, to step forward and speak their minds. We need them to make it personal, to all Americans.

We also need the families of the 9/11 victims to step up their actions. Then, we need some outfits like 60 Minutes to run several more pieces on all of the deceptions and lies.

Somewhere, somehow, this stuff has to catch on sooner or later, becoming so powerful, it will overcome the media's attempts to bury it, and the Bush cabal's attempts to stop it. Critical mass, that's what's needed.

6. "support the troops" freepers

Are fair-weather fuckheads.

7. people are being numbed...

A few "here and there" is having less impact--that we can see. Over time, people will tire of this occupation and the whole "war." It's a question of attrition of the will.

9. In the last ABC News/Washington Post poll,

38% of those polled said the casualties were acceptable and 59% said they were not. Additionally, 54% said the administration had no clear plan for dealing with Iraq.

People may not be angry, but that does not mean that they feel comfortable with these deaths and it does not mean that they don't hold the administration responsible.
