Sobering

Just surfing around, I came across a rather sobering blog. (Plus the subsequent entries.)

Whatever your political feelings are towards the war in Iraq or our current political administration, I think we sometimes all need a reminder that this sort of thing isn't just something that CNN covers for the hell of it. This war is more than a soundbite in a political ad, or a headline in the newspaper. These are our own people a long way from home fighting and dying.

And an bomb in Iraq can send shrapnel halfway around the world.
