A picture paints a thousand words.



What the hell is so goddamned important over in Iraq that we have to do this to young Americans? Why the fuck are we there? How can "freedom" and "democracy" in Iraq, with which the Bush administration has never really been concerned, be worth this? Look at how sad but determined the bride appears to be. Look at how the groom lowers his head, seemingly in shame. Why have we allowed this to happen? Goddamned neo-cons.

Happy fucking Valentine's Day.
