Please send omissions and corrections - I'm only human.
As always, this is done by research and accumulating information throughout the year. I may have ? no, I'll guarantee I did ? miss people, especially in the Pagan section. For that, I apologize in advance.
As always, first and foremost I turn the wheel for those who have been killed in armed conflict, famine, natural disasters, stupid politics, or acts of cruelty. I also turn the wheel for anyone who died alone and unmourned, so that they may have one person who wishes them well.
The over 3000 American casualties, the Coalition casualties, and the unknown, only guessed at Iraqi casualties ? perhaps as many as half a million people -- in the second Iraqi war. I hope someone, somewhere, has to answer for this. If you're American and you're tired of this, get out and vote next week.
