'How Many More Must Die?'

The Miami Herald today reprints a letter from Tim Predmore, on active duty with the 101st Airborne Division near Mosul, Iraq. The letter was originally published in the Peoria Times, but if you missed it last time around, give it a read now. It begins:

For more than six months I have participated in what I believe to be the great modern lie: Operation Iraqi Freedom.

It ends with:

My time is almost done. We soldiers have faced death in Iraq without reason or justification. How many more must die? How many more tears must be shed before Americans awake and demand the return of the men and women whose job it is to protect them rather than their leader's interest?
