Elm City to unveil Iraq war memorial
Design of Red River stones to highlight conflict’s costs
War memorials tell of beginnings and ends — a treaty signed, a last battle, a final death toll. But for supporters of a new monument in New Haven commemorating the ongoing Iraq war, such landmarks are only aspirations.

This memorial is clearly biased in an anti-war manner. Most Americans who think we shouldn't pull out, myself included, aren't so myopic as to think that Americans are the only ones dying. In fact the sole reason I want American troops to stay is so that we can prevent genocide in Iraq. I support this memorial only if we keep adding stones after we pull out, so that we remember how many Iraqis will die if America doesn't help.
