People like Cindy Sheehan and the (mostly) crap that flows from moveon.org make me cringe.

Nevertheless, I feel that this war was pointless and stupid from the beginning. It was based on clearly false assumptions and obscure objectives. I'll mourn, not celebrate the 2,000th US casualty, just as I did the first, and just as I will the 5,000th.

At this point we’re screwed for years. It will be a long time before can reasonably leave this mess and when we do, in disgrace and having accomplished very little of substance, you and your kind will blame ‘the liberals’ for ‘undermining the cause’. Well let me tell you now: THERE WAS NO CAUSE.

Most wars are a stupid waste of lives and capital. This one will go down in history as one of the stupidest and no amount of loud rhetoric is going to change that.

I think the best point to be made here is that the crime is not the 'exploitation' of numbers but the deaths themselves.
