Mikey - I guess you are addressing me - as we are "alone" here
My nephew was wounded in Iraq and returned home to rehab over a year ago. He is still encumbered but is doing well thank you. Off to university next fall.
My other stepson has been in Iraq on two deployments with the Marines. Back to university when he returns.
The stepson outside of Iran is on his second deployment into the Persian Gulf waters - he is in the Navy. He is career.
I write this not for sympathy but because I do not take the middle east deployment of troops lightly - I am of the families who stand to lose much.
Regardless of that personal stuff, I thought the article well written and when I see things which are productive to inter-relations between the two nations, I savor them - as water in a desert.
And of course I was offering a mea culpa for my anger on the other topic. Thanks for reading the essay -
