The picture is from a park in Chicago where someone laid out a pair of army boots for every one of the 3000+ American soldiers killed so far in the Iraq conflict.

Thanks for posting this, Memorial Day has become war propaganda day, and we need to remember what an evil aggressive war is. The hope of the world is in the preaching of Christ and obedience to His gospel, not the sword.

Imagine adding in shoes and sandals for every one else killed in Iraq, let alone from war violence around the world for the last year alone.

Imagine adding in shoes and sandals for every person killed by despots around the world last year alone.

Imagine adding baby shoes for every baby aborted in America during this so-called “evil war”. Would dwarf the number of boots by more than 1,000 to 1.

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” - John Stuart Mill

Imagine compairing this precious field of shoes with the vast sea of shoes belonging to the hundreds of thousands of innocent lives taken by Saddam and other Islamo Facists. Thank God men and women are stilling willing to give their lives for freedom.

Ben:
I understand your passion about that, and I too am glad Sadaam is gone. However, I have to raise the question: If one wants to grant that at one point our troops were “giving their lives for freedom” in Iraq, can we really maintain that is still true? It seems to me now that our hubris and macho guns-will-solve-everything approach has created a murderous chaos as bad–and maybe worse–as the Sadaam regime. Can it really be still said that our friends and brothers and sisters are ‘giving their lives for freedom”?
