This exhibit is in Chicago today to remind us of what we’ve lost. It’s really stunning to me how unevenly this war’s sacrifices and terrors have been distributed. Memorial day for me means a barbecue and chance to visit with friends. And for thousands of others it means bottomless, grinding grief. It’s not fair.

UPDATE: Via Mark Thoma, this memorial gives a sense of the total cost, in Iraqi and American lives, of this abomination we call war.
