Marking the milestone of 4,000 U.S. dead in Iraq, The New York Times on Tuesday published a gallery of tiny photos of the most recent 1,002 fatalities. But earlier in the front section, on page 4, to draw attention to its interactive exhibit on the Web, the paper published three...

War and Pax

You don't have to be a Latin scholar to know that Pax means peace. So why, with the United States bogged down in an unpopular war that claimed its 4,000th casualty a few days ago, is the Pax World family of mutual funds investing in a defense contractor with thousands...

Greg Mitchell

Given the current tragedy in Iraq -- hell, given the past five years -- you would think the many pundits who agitated for an attack on Iraq, largely on false pretenses, would have take the opportunity of the arrival of the fifth anniversary of the war (or the 4,000 dead...

4,000 Dead -- Fox News Empowering War And Making Us Dumber (Murdoch and His Vengeful Fools)

Frank Schaeffer | Posted March 24, 2008 | Media


Frank Schaeffer

Fox News more than any other single group in America is responsible for bringing us eight disastrous years of Bush, a war based on lies, 4000 American dead, over 30,000 wounded and an economy sliding into the toilet flushed away by a war debt exacerbated by tax cuts. I got...

Arianna Huffington

If our polarized country can agree on one thing, it's that the greatest danger facing America over the next decade will not be Islamic extremism and instability in the Middle East, but rather Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. That's just "common knowledge," right?

Tom Andrews

Today's killing of the 4,000 American soldier in Iraq was the latest grim marker in the Bush administration's disastrous war and occupation in Iraq, coming just days after the tragic passing of the fifth anniversary of the American invasion.

Robert Naiman | Posted March 24, 2008 | Politics


Robert Naiman

As such things are counted, this past weekend we crossed the threshold of four thousand U.S. deaths in Iraq. This fact, in itself, should spark congressional debate on what the U.S. is doing in Iraq, and how and when we are going to get out.

Jon Soltz | Posted March 24, 2008 | Politics


Jon Soltz

Having passed the 4,000 Americans killed mark in Iraq, the media will once again focus on the war in Iraq, like days ago when we passed the five-year mark there. These kinds of milestones and the inevitable media infatuation with them make me somewhat queasy. It's as if the 4000th...
