Somewhat along the same lines as the last post...

thetim posted about this good bye letter from a dead soldier in Iraq.

That was unbearably sad. The kind of thing that makes me wish there was an afterlife, so then at least Bush, Cheney, et al could burn forever.

I thought it was quite thoughtfully written. It's a bizarre suicide letter type of thing but isn't, you know? What kind of warped world do we live in that young men in the prime of their lives have to prepare letters like this for their inevitable, and quickly upcoming, deaths? It makes me think of senior citizens making their funeral preparations but I don't think this guy was even 30 yet. My brain doesn't quite wrap around it properly.
