On Wednesday, March the 19th many of us did not mark the 5th anniversary of the war in Iraq [2]. It was another day in which we did not remember the secrets and lies [3] that got us into Bagdad. We don't even remember the fact that there were no weapons of mass destruction [4] nor no Al-Qaeda to be found [5].

As to the Democratic Party's refusal to advance the impeachments of George Bush and Dick Cheney because it will cost them elections [6]? Well, we already knew that the majority of Democrats [7] aided and abetted the Bush-Cheney duo's dream of imperial power.

As long as the Democrats want to get their hands into the White House, there will always be another day to think about the death [8] and ruin brought to this country by the war [9].

As well as 4,000 dead, at least 29,000 US servicemen and women have been injured in the Iraq war, which entered its sixth year last week, according to the independent Web site www.icasualties.org [10]. Underscoring the brutality of an insurgency that flared in the aftermath of the invasion, the majority of American casualties occurred after George Bush announced the end of "major combat" in Iraq on May 1, 2003.

In the meantime, we'll avert our eyes and walk away from the 4,000 dead soldiers [11] who died for the glory of this tragedy.
