twitterLetter: Demand for oil costs many lives
Friday, July 15, 2005 | 9:21 a.m.
WEEKEND EDITION
July 16-17, 2005
When you change your oil, or put gasoline into your road monster, try thinking of oil as an acronym standing for Other Innocent Lives. Is all the death and destruction in Iraq worth this? The civilian war heroes who are calling the shots in Iraq think so, but do you?
In Iraq, I personally see another Vietnam, where 58,000 of our troops were killed and another 350,000 injured. Will it take similar casualties in Iraq for Americans to demand an end to the madness in Iraq?
Many Americans are ignoring Iraq, because, after all, it isn't their lives on the line. I guess they can live with that. I can't.
