We Are All Dying In Iraq

Cindy Sheehan's fascinating journey of discovery continues:
I met a new friend today named Jewel whose son was a medic on the front lines in Iraq and has tried to commit suicide three times since he returned from the desert of pain. The distraught Mother who is beside herself with worry said if something isn't done about it and if her boy doesn't get help, he is dying. His superiors will not allow him to be diagnosed for PTSD so he can't get the treatment he so desperately needs. Jewel is Buddhist and I told her: 'You realize your son died in Iraq.' She replied to me: 'We have all died because of this war.'
I think she is going to have a very good book at the end of all this.
