Forgotten 'Heroes'

Here they are , our forgotten Heroes. Tucked in tidy rows, flag draped and silent.

Victims of an illegal preemptive war designed by men of greed , absolutism and hubris. Secretly to be flown to Dover Air Force base. Furtively unloaded at night where no cameras will record this blatant crime. Forever archived as a statistic of this arrogant neo - conservative Iraqi power grab . A statistic within a sea of statistics of uncounted dead, wounded and maimed Iraqi civilians. Who have we become ? Who sent them on this ignoble path to death? Who will hear their anguished cry? Who will say , No more! No more! Who will make a stand for peace not war? Who will say , No more! No more! Will you?
