The 2000 Party

If you truly believed that the deaths of 2000 American soldiers in Iraq was unjustified, and you decided to demonstrate to promote your belief — would you also think it was appropriate to have a party atmosphere at that demonstration?

I would not. As it happens, I support our actions in Iraq and I believe that the high cost (in every sense) of the war in Iraq is worth it: for the protection of the rest of us, and for the betterment of mankind. But I respect those with opposing opinions on this matter, if those opinions were arrived at by some means other than Michael Moore, Barbara Streisand, George Soros, and other such sources of anti-enlightenment. And I would even think a demonstration — somber, sober, respectful — at a milestone, however arbitrary, such as the 2000th death in Iraq, was appropriate for people with such views.

But a party? A celebration? That’s just awful!
