The "System" is responsible for the catastrophe that is Iraq. But that included Kerry and Kennedy, who only listen to the big money. (What? Soros is broke?) Sad, yet somehow fitting on this Memorial Day weekend. Thank God for kids like his son, and Frank's, and mine, and my Dad, your Dad and the millions of others. May they all rest in His peace.
Parents who lose children, whether through accident or illness, inevitably wonder what they could have done to prevent their loss. When my son was killed in Iraq earlier this month at age 27, I found myself pondering my responsibility for his death.
Among the hundreds of messages that my wife and I have received, two bore directly on this question. Both held me personally culpable, insisting that my public opposition to the war had provided aid and comfort to the enemy. Each said that my son's death came as a direct result of my antiwar writings.
