Glad to see people took up my challenge for a reasoned discussion.

Anyway, perhaps I am wrong. Perhaps soldiers and their families deserve privacy -- haven't they given enough in life for them to be left alone in death, to grieve? I note that there is an artist who has made a composite photograph of George W using the faces of all the dead soldiers to date. For some reason I find that more offensive than the photographing of coffins with American flags on them. An artist can, of course, do what he likes, but still, that worries me. But I don't know why. Of course, we are all conflicted where the expression or covering up of death is concerned....


yours,

Peter T.
