The number of American soldiers to have died in the war in Iraq has now hit 2,000. It is reported that more than 1,500 events have been held across the United States (united by what? we might ask). The 2,000th soldier to have died is Staff Sergeant George Alexander, who died in hospital from wounds from a bomb attack.

In America The Village Voice reported over 1,500 events took place on Wednesday to mark a watershed in the United States Against the World war, that plays on our television screens each night between six and nine. They also reported that Cindy Sheehan was arrested outside of The White House for protesting without a permit.

CNN.com has also reported that 25/10/05 was the day that the 2,000th American died in Iraq, quoting George Bush as saying, "defense of freedom is worth our sacrifice." In the meantime Anti-Bush group Moveon.org unveiled an advert it intends to run nationally on CNN - so keep that Sky Digital subscription that you threatened to cancel.

townhall.com has decided to blame every attack on the US since the fall of the Shah on radical Islam, including the Oklahoma Bombing, whilst at the same time saying that each dead American soldier was a hero.

I couldn't find information on http://english.aljazeera.net for some reason.
