blog cacophony2,000 casualties in Iraq. That's deaths. Of American military personnel. Not counting deaths of other country's soldiers. Or Iraqi police deaths. Or civilian deaths. Or injured or maimed soldiers. Or soldiers who come home and end up sick or emotionally scarred. Or orphaned children. Or injured or maimed civilians.
2,000 is a lot. My high school had about 1,600 kids in it. Maybe 1,800 people when you add up all the administrators, teachers, custodians, etc. You'd have to throw in 200 more and kill them all to reach 2,000.
If every life is sacred, why does it seem that the life of a fertilized egg is so much more sacred to some people than the life of an American soldier?

And why are those lives (American soldiers) more sacred than any of the others to some people? Especially since many who seem to make those evaluations claim to be Christians, and every life should be equally important?
Oh, wait. That's right. Hypocrisy.
I know that the Bible says "Do not judge, so that you may not be judged." (or "Judge not, that ye be not judged." if you prefer the King James), but c'mon...how hard is it for those people to figure this out?
