More proof of the stupidity of war

I don't really have a good title for this post. Who is going to explain to this kid why he doesn't have a father? I think every year on his birthday Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, Rice, Wolfowitz and all the others who got us into this mess should have to explain to this boy why he doesn't have a father. And then the boy should be allowed to kick each of them in the shins as hard as he wants.

I know over 1200 other soldiers have died in this stupid war, but for some reason this particular story just happened to get under my skin.
