From Adbusters, #67 Sept.-Oct. 06
Culture of Life, Culture of Death:

“Americans came to liberate, not to conquer, to restore freedom and to end tyranny.”

“The Unwilling Led by the Unqualified Doing the Unnecessary for the Ungrateful”

Compare the two quotes: the first one is from the flagpole of the Memorial of World War II. The second, written on the casket of a soldier fighting in the Vietnam War, marked another turning point, this time a fall from grace. Both are American soldiers, fighting in a foreign war, but we cannot help but be struck by the fact that one is remembered as the champion of freedom and the other as a victim of misguided government policy. How will the world remember the soldiers of the Iraq war?
