A heads up for you. There is a lady in Vermont whose son was killed in Iraq. She has had it up to the gills with Mrs. Sheehan and her fellow travelers and is gonna start demanding "equal time". You heard it here first.

She may demand it, but she won't get it. Patriotic parents of their dead progeny who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, which the parents even while devastated in their grief, understand and accept, are a dime a dozen. There is no news there.

There was a special on the battle of Falujia (sp) on Fox News I think, and the father, Mr. Blacksmith, of one fallen hero, a second lieutenant leading his men shot threw the heart by a bullet that sneaked under his flack jacket, who had everything going for him, looks, charisma, intelligence, athletic prowess, wealth (the parents lived in what appeared to be a mansion in a very tony zip code of SoCal, gave a very moving testament to the fact of the selfless intelligence of most parents of the fallen. They lost their only son, and were devastated, but knew it was not all about them. It was about so much more. The father exuded great dignity and wisdom as he spoke through his pain, palpable pain that just poured out of the screen. Ah yes, I cried.
