1,000 Americans Dead in the Afghanistan War

It's a terrible milestone to have reached. So much sacrificed by military families; so many deaths of Afghan civilians. How many years is too long? How many dead is too much to bear?

Set aside the corruption at Blackwater/Xe, or that the defense budget grows at the expense of spending at home. Let the pain of lost loved ones among Americans and the civilians who bear the brunt of the war in Afghanistan unite us in resolving to end this war.
