More US casualties

[djmastermind]

Over the weekend in Iraq, an graduate from my school was killed while riding in a convoy. They were killed by a "road-side bomb". My journalism teacher had this student for all four years of his highschool career and he eventually became like a son to her. This is my bitching:

It was torture to see my journalism teacher, whom I really like not only as a teacher but as a person as well, talk about his death and have her have to go into her office and cry every so often. She had been talking about him all year, saying how absolutely wonderful of a kid he was and how worried she was.

I remember the day that Bush made the announcement that the war was over... She was so happy because she knew (thought) that her ex-student was going to be safe. Now, he's dead because of Bush's incompentence.

No, I don't blame it all on Bush.. I suppose that these types of things cannot be avoided while in war, but according to Bush, we are out of war.

Anyway.. any comments and opinions would be appreciated. Also, I will most likely be showing this thread to my journalism teacher, so anything you can say to cheer her up would be great. Thanks.
