While the evening news is being dominated by the AIG bonus controversy tonight, it's important to remember that today marked the six-year anniversary of the Iraq war, a conflict that has claimed over 4,250 American lives -- including 154 from Illinois -- and left over 31,000 wounded.
Talking Points Memo compiled a timeline of images starting with the initial invasion in 2003 while Time provided a diary from one photojournalist who has been shooting in the country since the war began. Together, the galleries make for quite a journey (one that will hopefully end soon).
Speaking of which, the Chicago chapter of Iraq Veterans Against the War is holding an "End The War" benefit tomorrow night with musical guests Mucca Pazza. You can find more details here.
