Milestones in the Culture of Death

The US reached another milestone in the burgeoning culture of death this week with the thousandth execution since the resumption of the death penalty.

Earlier this year, the war in Iraq crossed the threshold of 2000 deaths of American soldiers in that sorrowful conflict.

Every year, worldwide, some two million people die prematurely from political violence and state-sponsored violence, under the color of law.

The color of law is the color of dried blood and tears of woe.
