Found this little gem in Sunday's Denver Post, and wondering how many others felt the same way I did when I read this part of the passage:
On this Memorial Day, I would like you to take a few moments from your day off and stare into the faces of grief.
Go to a nearby military cemetery and look at the American flags stuck on each grave and think of the person buried there who was killed for global domination or for the blunders and egomania of our leadership.
And remember, for every person buried there, 10 more loved that person and were shattered by the loss. Instead of saluting, softly say: "I'm sorry." On this Memorial Day, remember, too, to look at the pictures of Iraqi children being lifted out of rubble after their homes have been bombed by U.S. jets.
Please say, "I'm sorry" for them, also.
(emphasis mine)
So Ms. Sheehan feels that every soldier that has died was killed as a result of a quest for global domination, or because of errors of our Commanders-in-Chief.
