Peter Jennings is Dead

That was fast. The story here.
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Nearly four months to the day since he announced in a hoarse voice on his evening newscast that he had been diagnosed with lung cancer, longtime ABC "World News Tonight" anchor Peter Jennings died Sunday, according to the ABC news network. He was 67.
Fuck cancer.

Why the hell are we wasting billions and billions of dollars on idiotic adventures like Iraq when the most horrible instrument of terror anyone will likely ever face - cancer - gets a much, much lower priority. You want to know what a REAL weapon of mass destruction is: there were 553, 400 cancer deaths in the US in 2001. That's more deaths than if there had been a 9/11 every two days that year.
