Sacrifice

It's Eid ul Adha, the Muslim festival of sacrifice.

Here are the ones about to be sacrificed. I wonder what the goats think about this.
Meanwhile, President Bush has proclaimed the year 2006 as "Another Year Of Sacrifice". Really! For a man who thinks "sacrifice" is when the batter lays down a bunt, this is far too far beyond the pale. Just what is Mr. Bush sacrificing himself?

Except for the future of his country, the one whose Constitution he has pledged to Protect and Defend.


Here's an Iraqi who was sacrificed last year, when his wedding was bombed by US attack aircraft.


Here's another one who has been sacrificed, a soldier who was doing the bidding of his Commander in Chief, against all sense and reason.
