Even though I am against the war in Iraq, I do find the near-deification of this woman to be a bit disturbing.
Yes, she lost her son. And it must be a terrible, terrible loss for her, and I feel sorry for her. But so have 1800 other mothers. And I feel sorry for them, as well.
I can understand her need to stand up and question, I just don't approve of the way the media and her supporters are treating her, as if she's Mary looking down upon the body of Christ.

If you could really get to know someone and know that they weren't lying to you, then you would know the world was real. Because you could agree on things, you could compare notes. That must be why people get married or make Art. So they'll be able to really know something and not go insane.
