Remembering other issues: Arctic Refuge & PTSD

Cindy Sheehan has been a breath of fresh air and boost to Dems against the war. There's a host of other issues swirling around here though that we can't lose sight on...

The Inner War: Helping Soldiers with PTSD
Earlier this week I posted a piece about a Marine in MA, who was arrested for firing into a crowd. The Marine had recently received the Marine of the Year award.

Every day we are hearing more and more stories about soldiers returning for Iraq and Afghanistan with PTSD. Not enough is being done to help them.

A very good OP/Ed in the Boston Globe reminds us of another important issue still at stake: The Arctic Refuge.

1. Kick. Thanks, kerrygoddess.

I've been too depressed at many of the threads I've seen here today to want to post much, but this one is worth saving.

Except, respectfully--could we stop calling The Resistance "the good fight"? To me, that implies that we can afford to lose it and that we will lose it. It's kind of defeatest.
