`Doonesbury' Creator Plans Memorial Day
Garry Trudeau's comic strip next Monday will have a list of military personnel who have been killed in Iraq.
Memorial Day is the right time to think about the men and women who have lost their lives in wars. I'm not sure that a comic strip is the best venue for this list though. Since the writing will need to be very small to fit in all the names (I guess that's the point), they won't be easy to read so I don't view this as much of a memorial.
It's too bad that there isn't a list of all the people in Iraq who are alive today because Saddam is no longer in power. Listing them on June 30 would be a good way to celebrate the handover of control.
