31 people (give or take) died in Blacksburg, VA today, at the hands of a gunman who rampaged through a dormitory. 31 students at Virginia Tech died.
If you have friends or loved ones there, please call them to be sure that they’re okay. If your friends and loved ones were among those killed or wounded, I have no words to express how much my heart goes out to you.
I’ve stared at my keyboard for five minutes trying to find a decent way to point out that this is something like an *average* day in Iraq … but there is no decent way to do so. It’s only when our calm is shattered that we realize how very calm we were.
Will this wretched winter never end?
