Small Change

I agree with most everything. But why would you use the deaths of our American men and women to prove a political point, especially in a cartoon?

And before you answer, I reject any argument that relies on or refers to the idea that the deaths of American soldiers is a political issue.

In response to the comment above- I generally do not explain cartoons, but that leaves me open to criticism from those not as minutely focused on news as myself. Here is the explanation:

Wolf Blitzer asked John Boehner, the leader of the GOP in the House, this question (video on Horse's Mouth):

"The loss in blood, the Americans who are killed every month, how much longer do you think this commitment, this military commitment is going to require?"

And Mr. Boehner responded:

"The investment that we're making today will be a small price if we're able to stop al Qaeda here, if we're able to stabilize the Middle East, it's not only going to be a small price for the near future, but think about the future for our kids and their kids."

Don't you think he was referring to a "small price compared to what we may have to sacrifice in the future?"
