An Anniversary I'd Rather Not Mention

Today is the 6th anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq War. On March 19, 2003, the U.S. invaded the sovereign (read: self-governing) nation of Iraq based on false pretenses (i.e. Iraq was harboring "weapons of mass destruction.") In tomorrow's post, I'll include tallies of coalition and Iraqi dead and wounded. (That means I'll need to do some dreaded research later today.) I'll also discuss my disillusionment with the anti-war movement and my experience with a protest that I went to one year ago that wasn't. Don't get me wrong, I'm still very much against the war, but there's a right and a wrong way to protest it.
