Did you see it?

Joe Galloway saw it and was moved to write about the folly and waste of our best by our worst.
There's one stark image that lingers in my mind from Memorial Day 2007. It's that photograph of the young fiancee of a slain Army Ranger sergeant stretched facedown and full length on the cold earth of his grave at Arlington National Cemetery. She was embracing with love all that she and we have lost.How many more will you and I let die for a lie?
Did you weep for her, America? Did you weep for him? Did you feel or even notice the pain and suffering that radiated from that image?
Did it speak to your heart of the events - the grotesque mistakes of a president and his underlings and the utter failures of a Congress and both political parties - that brought the sergeant and his fiancee to that place?
