If i remember correctly, there were two or three other Arizona service people killed in Iraq. Did they all have mountains names changed to honor them or was this a clear case of racism because of her race? If so, then I suggwest that we remove this racist action and restore Squaw Peak to it's former name.

Everyone I know still calls it Squaw Peak.

The bigger travesty are the rules that are in place to name mountains, streets, etc., but Janet Napoli'Reno' gave a rats *ss about rules.
