Military Deaths Give the Left An Excuse For a Party

The media, and when it suits them, the left, love nice round numbers coming out of Iraq. We're about to hit the 2,000 death number, and apparently that's cause to celebrate (h/t Little Green Footballs):

The American Friends Service Committee is planning to hold a series of parties all across the country when the 2000th US soldier is killed in Iraq: Not One More Death. Not One More Dollar. (Hat tip: Politics and Religion.)
Here’s the current list of locations.

Nothing cheers up the left more than another dead American soldier.

UPDATE: Cindy Sheehan, still struggling to recoup her lost press coverage, is planning to join the festivities:

Cindy Sheehan, the military mother who made her son’s death in Iraq a rallying point for the anti-war movement, plans to tie herself to the White House fence to protest the milestone of 2,000 U.S. military deaths in Iraq.

I have a suggestion for the White House cops: Don't arrest Sheehan when she ties herself to the fence. Just leave her there. What she really wants is the press coverage of the arrest, and if they just ignore her, we'll all be better off for it.
