With today's and last Sunday's edition of his comic strip Doonesbury, Garry Trudeau lists the names of the numerous U.S. troops who have been killed in both Iraq and Afghanistan from April 26, 2006 to April 18, 2007.
Doonesbury has been frequently criticized by conservatives ever since the comic strip debuted in October 1970. With that being said, regardless of the strip's political nature, Trudeau should receive credit for bringing attention to these fallen individuals. At the same time, Mr. Bush should be heavily criticized for the fact that Trudeau required two weeks to actually print all of the names. In addition, for someone who feels the struggle in the Middle East is so vital to the future of the United States, Mr. Bush doesn't even devote a few minutes to read the names of the killed troops during his weekly radio address.
