Mari333's LTE in the Nation this week?
Edited on Mon Mar-22-04 04:39 PM by Crowdance
Just opened this week's Nation, and there is a letter that reads like it's written by our Mari. Mari, is this you? It's entitled "One Mother's War," and says, in part:

"A beautiful young man is somewhere in Iraq right now, sent over with scoliosis (the Army conveniently lost is X-rays) for no dam reason except to prop up short-term profits and give-aways to US corporations. We don't know if we will ever swee him again. What we do know is that he just walked into a civil war that is erupting daily into unadulterated hell on earth. We know he may come home in a box, or mained fr life, or psychologically damaged beyond comprehension."

Is this your letter, Mari? It's powerful and moving, and prominent. I know you're being psychologically assaulted by the dark side right now. But I hope you feel encouraged by the publication this letter.

Edited to fix typo.
