Dr. Jack Kevorkian And The Death Toll In Iraq
Category: In Your Face
The All Spin Zone connects the release of Dr. Jack Kevorkian from prison to the war in Iraq. Heavy thoughts, indeed.
A Death By Any Other Name Would Not Be Accepted
This coming Friday, Dr. Jack Kevorkian will be released from prison after serving eight years for his part in assisting in the suicides of over one hundred individuals...individuals that by and large suffered ailments that would eventually end their lives or that had taken from them the lives that they cherished such that they already felt dead...though by some trick of fate, remained here in this existence against their will.This past week Congress authorized a military spending bill that met with the president's approval and that did not include any timetable for withdrawal from Iraq...despite the fact that one can argue that the 2006 election sent a strong message that our elected officials bring an end to the war in Iraq and prevent the deaths of more U.S. soldiers.
Every indication suggests that George Bush will leave office...after eight years...with a significant presence of U.S. military troops still in Iraq. Back in 1998, the state of Michigan passed a law that led to the eight year imprisonment of Dr. Kevorkian for his part in facilitating the deaths of individuals who wanted to end their lives. Now I'm not suggesting the president or this congress should be imprisoned for their part in facilitating the death of 100 soldiers during the month of May...or the nearly 1,000 since last Memorial Day...or the 3,439 total soldiers killed in Iraq since the war began back in 2003.
The rest of the article is worth a read on this Memorial Day.
