AOL News - Mother of Slain GI Maintains Vigil Near Bush Ranch: "'I felt compelled to come and tell her I support her,' said Delaney, a self-described hippie from Sly Park, Calif. 'The way they were bad-mouthing a mother whose son was killed in the war is un-American.'"
I am not sure if it was because of all this news or if it was a symbol of something else, but I had very vivid dreams that I was in Iraq last night. I suppose a great majority of my dreams and what I imagine it being like there now are those videos and things that I saw on the Frontline special about the war.
One part of my dream though was very weird. We drove up to a very large hotel where insurgents or possibly simply Iraqi's had hung hand made signs from the roof. Before I knew it I was sitting down with my company for dinner just one or two stories below the top of the hotel out on a veranda. I would try and hide underneath the table when I thought perhaps an insurgent/Iraqi was looking down on us. The company stood firm. Finally I started to show a little more guts (taking my cues from the company) and heard the insurgents/Iraqis say to us that they were going to blow up a nuke of some sort tomorrow (I remember feeling like they were talking about a 'dirty' bomb).
Anyway, this is a long way of saying, I am a pussy even in my dreams. I truly respect what the soldiers are having to do over there and hope that we do right by them and their families. I pray for the very best resolution to this currently ongoing mess.
