I agree as the numbers rise week by week the individual
deaths are getting less and less attention.

The "shock value" has weakened. People are able to
accept incremental horror with great adaptation.

I don't know how to keep people awake to the deaths in Iraq.

I fear that it might fester on for years or decades
even assuming a new president next year it is
posable that it just continues on. The pressure
against pull out gets greater as our buisness intrests
get more established there. Also the deaths of
our troops creates a feadback where the sacrifices
to date justify the next ones.

I don't see much help coming from the Democratic party
after only 11 votes turned up in the senate against the
blank check bill.

I hope that will change after our 2004 candidate gets selected.
