My sister continues to say: "I think maybe they should have waited until the war was over, otherwise how are they going to alphabetically carve new names into the stone?"

i say: what are you talking about sister of mine? "operation iraqi freedom" ended on may 2nd 2003. that war is in the history books now. don't you remember when president bush landed on that aircraft carrier and told us that we won? you must be confusing "operation iraqi freedom" with the ongoing "operation illegitimate iraqi occupation quagmire war on terrorism distraction/creation." silly sister!
