The Road of Bones

Judith ...

Since you copied this to me, I'll respond. Peter is out of town till Tuesday, and I'm sure he'll respond then as well.

You didn't ask, but I'm convinced the war in Iraq was and is the right thing to do. My logic for that has nothing to do with whether I support the current president or not. If you'd like to know those reasons, I'd be glad to share them. But just because I think a particular war is necessary doesn't mean I think war is preferable.

Sadly, sometimes they are unavoidable. Whether this is one of those is arguable. But in any case, I am not pro war. Knowing him as I do, neither is Jay. [The complaintant mentioned the wrong DJ's name in her initial correspondance. - G.M.]

That said, Cindy Sheehan deserves to have her name pronounced correctly. Whatever I think of her motices or the psychology behind them, she is entitled to her views - even if she did falsify the buyer's statement in order to purchase the land near President Bush's ranch. And regardless of that, I won't quibble with a parent who has lost a child in the service of this country - whatever their views. At any rate, the Crawford homeowners association meetings just got a lot more interesting.

Cindy Sheehan can say what she wishes. So can Jay. Likewise, you have the right to change stations. I hope you don't. Largely because Casey Sheehan (at least theoretically) died not only so that people might give voice to their opinions, but that those opinions might be heard. His blood and the blood of others demand that we not be so easily riled at each other.

Besides - Cindy seems to have rather thick skin. I imagine there's not much she hasn't heard.
