Mike (Luckovich), here's your answer (to Why?)

Mike, here's your answer

The first time I saw Mike Luckovich's drawing of the word "WHY?" --- made up of the names of 2,000 troops killed in Iraq --- was when my mother was putting it up on our refrigerator.

It bothered me that no one did a response showing how others feel. On Nov. 8, I got an updated list of the names of the war dead and started writing them, spelling out "FREEDOM." Six days later, it was done. I worked on it in my free time at school, and stayed late after school. It took me about 12 hours to get it done.

I didn't take it home and show it to my mother until I had prints made. She and I have different views of things.

She said that, as a mother, she didn't like it that so many people have been killed. She was not happy when I placed my work next to Luckovich's "WHY?" on the fridge, but it hasn't been taken down.

I may seem too young to have an opinion on matters such as these. I am not saying that my opinion is right, because an opinion is just that --- someone's view on something. But, like a child's voice, an opinion is often not heard.

Also from an earlier post, but worthy of repeating ~

Kudos also to Mike Luckovich for having the guts to make sure this is both on the web and in the print edition of the paper.

Micke Luckovich is a hard core leftist who regularly works to destroy the war effort and everything traditional in America. NEVER give him any credit. It only encourages him. Like appeasing the islamofacists.

Luckovich is an unusually loathsome bottom feeder.

Luckovich is the main reason (along with Cynthia Tucker) why I will never subscribe to my own local paper. I can get bird cage liners for free.
