A recent editorial called 'The Unspeakable Truth' looked at four truths about the Iraq War.
The article received a lot of discussion tonight on CNN. I think if you google 'The Unpeakable Truth', you can probably find the article.
One of the four truths was something like this:
"U.S. troop deaths are wasted lives"
Do you agree wih this?
If you believe that the war was a mistake to begin with, then I guess these are all people who did not have to die. If you lose something that never had to be parted with in the first place, then that thing is wasted, isn't it?
The author of the article was asked if he thought it was insulting to say that the troops who died are wasted lives. He responded by saying that it wa a greater insult to continue using rhetoric to try and say that the soldiers died for a great cause.
Its a touchy subject, and I am not sure if I agree or disagree.
What do you think?
