Subject: Stop the Insanity: I bought the spin--weapons of mass destruction. but if I sit silently by now, I am giving permission for this insanity to continue. Every morning when I get up I am informed by the TV that "nine" troops are killed" or "12 soldiers lose their lives." This really, truly has to stop. For starters, how about if the news media stop dehumanizing these losses. They aren't just "troops." They are sons and daughters, husbands and wives, moms, and dad, grandchildren, best friends and so on. There is a bid difference between supporting and loving our troops and not supporting a politically grounded battle based on a lie. Are we so arrogant that we think we can change a mindset and a culture in our lifetime, at the expense of countless young lives? Let's start demanding more from our leaders. They are misrepresenting who we are in the world and are letting us down based on a "we know something you don't know" insulting justification PM
