Laura Youngblood clutched her husband's photo as she drove alone to the hospital. She'd become pregnant nearly nine months earlier, the day he'd left for training for Iraq. Hours later, after the baby was born, she placed the photo in the bassinet next to the infant he'd named Emma in his last letter home. He would never hold her."

 

The above is how the Associated Press begins its present propaganada story about the effect of Iraq, featured, as usual, on AOL.  Note the headline, which makes it obvious (as if there were ever any doubt) that this is PROPAGANDA.

This is just more propaganda from the despicable Associated Press (no worse "news" orgainization in this, or any oterh universe (including unknown alein civilizations--simply because it is impossible to be worse).

Could you do this story about World War I?  Sure you could (for many more people).  For World War II?  Sure.  Civil War?  Sure.  58.000 of our soldiers died in Vietanm (a small fraction of that number have died in Iraq).  Then there is Afghanistan (the "good war"), where Americans have died.

Every death of an American soldier is important.  But, for perspective, 42,000 Americans died last year in traffic accidnets.  Did that "affect lives"?  Of course it did:  many MORE lives than Iraq. 

This story is just porpaganda.  It is not that it is untrue.  It is just that it says nothing about Iraq, other than that some people have died.
