Putting a Face on It

It's amazing how disaster makes such great news. Fear is the one main thing that stands between many and peace. Wasn't it fear that led us to attack Iraq? Or, if it wasn't fear, fear was used to drive public opinion into accepting such measures. Will fear of tsunami lead us to attack the sea?

The Washington post has a site where you can actually see the faces of our fallen soldiers. Faces of the Fallen - U.S. Casualties in Iraq:

When I see this, I am knowing that the people of Iraq have lost so many more.
Can we look at war like a tsunami by choice?
I'd prefer to leave the cleansing to nature.
