1. Wow...I hope everyone takes the time to read this.

3. It's tough to read. I read some of it aloud to my wife and cried.

Her son died so that Rove could use Bush* as a "wartime president" with a bonus to Halliburton.

6. Agree with Your View

I'm glad that I'm not the only one with this sentiment.

From the time that I heard the first whispers of an Iraq invasion, I just felt deep in my gut that this was the start of Duhbya's re-election campaign. He was going to run as a "popular war president". In essence, he would be running on the spilled blood of our military men and women.

The very thought makes me physically ill.

We can't let this guy hang around for another four years. That would be so hellish.

C'mon, KERRY-EDWARDS!!!

10. i also agree

it seems bush had two things on his agenda:
to get Saddam
to get re-elected

(neither of which his father did)

unfortunately for us, our servicemen and women, and the world, both goals involved war.

[girl gone mad]

13. Do you think he cares?

Or is it power at all costs?

[Minimus]

15. the end justifies the means

power at all costs. he feels the need to be better than daddy.

2. Wow is right! What a heart wrenching thing to experience

the loss of a son or daughter.

Bush should be made to sit down and have these letters read to him.

9. He should be tied to a chair

and forced to listen to the grief and anguish of all the parents, spouses, loved ones he has killed. I know the loss of a child and the effects are insurmountable. As much as I despise * I would never wish that grief on him.

4. Thank you so much for providing the link.

I was moved beyond belief by her letter.

I can not imagine her grief.

5. great letter

[xchrom]

8. oh boy

12. kick

14. What is truly ironic, is that during Vietnam

the young people spoke out, & protested.

Today, some of those same people are parents of soldiers going off to Bush s war. And a lot of the same people are pissed all over again.

But where is the outrage? Where are the young people? Where is the media? Where are the politicians to speak out?

My heart breaks for this mother, & all the other mothers who have lost a child in this needless, senseless war.

16. I read the letter and cried.

Buzzflash always sends me there five top stories and that was one. I printed it out so I could have everyone I know read it.

17. Please notice the email address

I worry that she will get negative email. I just sent her a thank you for speaking up to protect my family memebers in the service.
