My thought's go out to the families of the crew and passengers involved here. I think this type of thing is very tragic. American's have had their lives cut short yet again by people (other words would be more appropriate) who may not be Iraqi, and who may not have the Iraqi people's best interest at heart.
I firmly believe that so much of the trouble has been caused by people who really don't know what they are actually fighting for, or wouldn't want it, if it arrived.
R.I.P. to all involved. I am now 100% civilian, but mourn every allied loss in any sandy or otherwise theatre. And feel shame to live in a country where our politicians could not care less when their actions result in loss of life.
To all involved in this tragedy: You may or may not have agreed with why you were there, you knew there would be none, or little gratitude or reward, BUT you did your job and did your best. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

The bravest of the brave. Rest in Peace, for you have done your duty in full. To those left behind to grieve, very sincere condolences in your loss, but be proud of the selfless duty done by your loved one.
At the going down of the Sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
