2. I am saddened for those who have died in this senseless war

and the families who are grieving for them BUT I am more saddened for those who have been wounded and are still alive as a result of this senseless war.

Are they receiving the care and treatment they should be getting? I don't think so!!! So much for Bush and his "Support Our Troops" ideals.
God, I despise this man!!!!!!
