War and Peace



"War would end if the dead could return."
Stanley Baldwin, British Prime Minister during the 1920s and 1930s.

Where did you get all the pictures of the flag-covered caskets?

A University of Delaware professor/former CNN reporter Ralph Begleiter worked to get them released through a Freedom of Information Act request... You can see most of them at www.thememoryhole.org ... that site has links to the others. The whole point in the government not wanting to show the photos is that if we the public don't see the dead returning, we forget the human cost of war.
