D ========== Thanks for looking Derby. I like that one too. Paradoxically, the sight of the crosses sort of makes me feel proud (best word I can come up with. Not proud that people died, proud that people have protested. Proud someone had the guts to put up those crosses despite all the initial negative reaction -- see story). Why? Because news coverage of the war has been so censored in this country. With the Vietnam War we saw it on the news every night, and that is what helped bring the war to a end (US citizens tend to be gung ho about wars when they start, but when they see the toll, they turn against them). So here is a reminder of war's real cost. A witnessing of the fact, rather than denial and censorship. Over the years, this war (these wars) have made me incredibly sad, but turning toward the truth, rather than away from it, is always good.
