...husband and I have a 4-year-old son who fills every day of our "middle age" with joy. Midlife and motherhood are a great combination! Kim Dahl Provo, Utah, U.S. A Mother vs. the President Although I am not related to antiwar protester Cindy Sheehan [Aug. 22], I am ashamed that she shares my family name.

Cindy Sheehan deserves better. And U.S. serviceman Casey Sheehan deserved better...
...horrified to read the statement of California widow Jennifer Harting that Sheehan is "dishonoring her son by depicting America so negatively." That kind of thinking gives the government carte blanche to do whatever it wants, knowing that people will follow like sheep. "My country, right or wrong" is a great idea--if you're running a totalitarian regime. In a pluralistic democracy, we need the Cindy Sheehans to speak up and honor their fallen children by telling the truth as they...
