The DMN offers an editorial today titled “War Critics Should Lose Negativity, Try Solutions.” I read it seconds after reading this LA Times story, which begins:
An American soldier charged with the rape and killing of a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and the slaying of her family told investigators that he and his comrades devised the attack while playing cards and drinking whiskey at a checkpoint, and that afterward he grilled chicken wings, a military investigator testified Monday.
In the spirit of the DMN editorial, right now I’m also trying to lose my negativity about the Holocaust, Pearl Harbor, My Lai, the Trail of Tears, Antietam, and AIDS. And I’m feeling so much better!
