18. As the daughter of a Vietnam vet

I can truly appreciate Chloe's article and the sentiments expressed in it. John Casserly reminds me of my father, the way he talks.

The article was very well written and thoughtful. Of course I would expect nothing less from the daughter of DU's resident sage, but she makes me feel optimistic for the future of political activism.

You have every reason to be proud. My favorite quote from the article:

". . . if we really think about the Middle East and how we can contribute to peace-building there, it would be necessary to consider what issues we have caused in the first place."

Wise girl, your Chloe. Well done Papa.
