| Awaiting Iraq war's end so families may reunite
What do you think when you see the same images day after day? Do you wonder why and try to make a change or turn your head and look away? To question the rationale or reason has often been grounds for treason. Force overriding force, might makes right. Is that what we teach our children when we tuck them in at night? The funeral parlors and headstone makers have been very busy keeping up with demand. Nearly 4,000 soldiers dead so far with their blood on "The Decider's" hands. How many funerals has he attended? The newspapers say none. Nearly 4,000 soldiers dead so far: 4,000 lost daughters and sons; 4,000 folded flags given to families who will never be the same; 4,000 families weeping for their loved ones whose deaths are such a shame. It isn't much fun to see your friends buried with no end in sight.

Pevelski, Sharks rally past woeful Leafs
Mats Sundin's No. 13 jersey competed with Joe Thornton's No. 19 teal shirt as the most popular outfit on the concourse. After the Toronto fans loudly cheered "O Canada," their team scored in the opening minutes when Nabokov got caught behind his net. Sundin collected the puck and fed Antropov in the slot for his 17th goal. Kubina added a power-play goal early in the second period. San Jose had little offensive life until Marleau scored on a slap shot that deflected off Toronto defenseman Hal Gill's stick in the slot early in the third period. Marleau has disappointed coach Ron Wilson this season, scoring just eight goals - including none in the Sharks' previous seven games. Rivet's tying goal went through several players in front, giving the defenseman three goals during a four-game scoring streak.

Plugging away Hensley said he might contribute to the scrap heap. He will renew sponsorship of a bill prohibiting legislators from lobbying for two years after leaving office. Jeopardizing the income of retired politicians is unpopular, but he is undeterred. "There ought to be a grace period," Hensley said. Pyle will mirror that persistence with a proposal to join more than 20 other states in development of a volunteer state defense force that would respond to emergencies. His idea floundered last session, and the proposal is opposed by the Kansas National Guard and the governor.
