Yes, I was surprised that the age was included, but that just makes more shock-value and to pull at the heartstrings. I felt that I needed to watch a thank each face flashed on the screen. Then, the more I watched, the angrier I got at the exploitation going on before me. If the media and the Ted Kennedy's and the UN Security Councils of the world had not been so selfishly pursuing their power and money grabbing and had put a united front against these evil terrorists WE WOULN'T HAVE TO BE LOOKING AT SO MANY OF THESE FACES. Maybe there would be more "international" faces. The MEDIA continues to tear this country down, while these sweet faces lost their lives trying to keep it intact. No more! I'm furious.

I thing if the Democrats hadn't politicized this war to the degree they had, we wouldn't have had as many people on the list. i believe that with all of my heart. John Kerry and the rest of the primary Dems let our enemies know that if they can bloody us, Bush will be defeated and Kerry will bug the Hell out. This is how we got here--it's really easy to see.

Yes, that's it. He wants you to think of it as a "waste of young men's lives" (Bush's fault of course) rather than a voluntary sacrifice for the better benefit of us all -- a sacrifice to "bear any burden, pay any price" to prevent the spread of Islamofacism any further than it already has.
