Great editorial in the WaPo
I don't normally read editorials, but this one, from a father who lost a son in Iraq .....
The words "hero" and "patriot" focus on the death, not the life. They are a flag-draped mask covering the truth that few want to acknowledge openly: Death in battle is tragic no matter what the reasons for the war. The tragedy is the life that was lost, not the manner of death. .....This is very painful to acknowledge, and I have to live with it. So does President Bush.
