Bo

We live in a world that questions everything in every way. We strain things through our values, political views, religious beliefs, prejudices, and which media we believe. Bo Bergdahl has made people furious at Obama (they were already furious at Obama), mad that 5 Taliban were freed (we didn't know who they were) and outraged that the enemy ranks had grown by 5 more.

A lady from Sand Springs wrote a letter to the editor in the Tulsa World (published today) and asked a simple question:  "Would he be important enough to trade for his life if he were your son?"


All of us (including the Sand Springs lady) who have lost children know the correct answer.
