4,171*

that's the price of gas

iraq veterans against the war thinks it is. oh, i do too.

how ANYONE can still attempt to justify our invasion of that country is unfathomable. it was a crime, it was unjust, immoral and illegal. we've not only killed thousands or been responsible for them being killed but we've displaced many more. we've destroyed an entire country. WE that's right WE are responsible for al-qaeda being in iraq. THEY WERE NOT THERE BEFORE WE DECIDED TO 'LIBERATE' the country.

Anti-war veterans deploy 4,171 toy soldiers at gas station
David Edwards and Muriel Kane
In a daring guerrilla raid earlier this fall, members of the Los Angeles chapter of Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) infiltrated a local gas station to deploy a battalion of 4171 toy soldiers, together with a sign reading, "Price of Gas: 4171 U.S. Soldiers."

The project was initiated by designer Andrew Wilcox, who served as art director, and photographer and former marine Jonas Lara. According to Wilcox, it also involved "6 Iraq War Veterans who wish to remain anonymous."

A video of the action, carried out in the early morning hours of October 11, has now been posted on YouTube and Digg and featured at the IVAW website and on several blogs............

*of course the number NOW is 4,201
