No one can deny sound advice. At least no sane person.
A woman I know has a son in Iraq and is more conflicted every day. Her son is essentially abducted but she is told she should feel proud.
She feels anguish, she feels confused and yes she feels sick over this whole sick situation.
She writes;
"my son being in iraq is a sorrow so personal and deep that you cannot approach an inking of what my complex feelings about him being there entail- or hazard a guess as to my political beliefs because they are scattered in a thousand contradictory voices that even i can only translate imperfectly now and again.
what i find most irritating about you is that all of your accusations and solutions are simplistic, reactionary and predictable to your bent; real people, real life-is not the paint by numbers that i see in your words time and again.
what matters to me is not this idiocy-
it is that people are dying on all sides day by day, for reasons i can only guess at. mostly i'll be wrong, but at least i have the honesty to be confused."
There may come a time when people will see the messenger is not to blame but I fear the hurt and hate will so deep that blame will fly in every direction except the Salon.com neocons.
