Mother Of Woman Soldier Stationed in Afghanistan Wants Her Daughter Home Now

From a piece in the Orlando Sentinel, combat mom Kerri Drylie writes passionately and persuasively about wanting her soldier daughter - you know, one of those "unimportant" girl GIS the likes of Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh scoff at yet who are dying in significant numbers in Iraq and Afghanistan - home.

I am equally sure there are other mothers, those living in Afghanistan and Iraq, who also would like to see the Americans go home unless the administration who dispatched them there is actually going to live up to its rhetoric, rather than just create more needless death and destruction for both civilians and the soldiers.

No one is winning; not here, not in Iraq or Afghanistan.

But people are dying. And moms and dads, and children, want it to stop.

That message is universal.

And it's why we cannot allow Bush to do in Iran and perhaps Syria what he has done elsewhere.
