Reply #17: I’ve read many LTTE, and your letter is clear and clean and

it is simply heartbreaking.

It's better than what many columnists produce. I can't imagine that it will not see ink. It needs only minor adjustments, easily handled by an editor.

You must send this to many different newspapers, if you haven't already. I would try the Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, Kansas City Star, USA Today,--here's a list of papers in the US

I know there is a list, a "media blaster" somewhere here on DU that would have all the LTTE address' in one easy source. I can't find it, but maybe someone else will have it handy.

You know, all evening I skipped over your thread because I just knew what would happen, and it did. It's just a beautiful piece of writing and has the same clear voice I've seen in other writing by parents with children in Iraq.

It is not overly dramatic, it's actually so pure and simple that one can't help but be moved. And that is what real drama is all about, IMO.

To you and your son, :hug: Thank you.
