Jeffrey B. Starr a United States Marine wrote this on his laptop computer shortly before he died in Iraq:
"Obviously if you are reading this then I have died in Iraq. I kind of predicted this, that is why I'm writing this in November. A third time just seemed like I'm pushing my chances. I don't regret going, everybody dies but few get to do it for something as important as freedom. It may seem confusing why we are in Iraq, it's not to me. I'm here helping these people, so that they can live the way we live. Not have to worry about tyrants or vicious dictators. To do what they want with their lives. To me that is why I died. Others have died for my freedom, now this is my mark."
Michelle Malkin in her column today quoted this from the young Marine's laptop. What is interesting is that the New York Times quoted other parts of his last words but left this quote out and gave it's readers the impression that he had become against the war in Iraq.
