"Rich Man's War, Poor Man's Fight":

An Associated Press story appearing on MSNBC.com, reports the growing truth in this old saw. During World War II, American soldiers died in approximately equal percentages. Since 1945, that particular form of egalitarianism has changed dramatically with each successive conflict. According to the story,

Among the Americans killed in the Iraq war, 34 percent have come from communities reporting the lowest levels of family income. Half have come from middle income communities and only 17 percent from the highest income level. [Emphasis added]

In other words, 84 percent of the people who have died fighting in Bush's adventure into empirialism have come from the people who receive the smallest benefit from this great country.

Just what sort of "democracy" does he and his sort plan on establishing in the Middle-East? The same sort they work so hard to undermine here?
