Trust Mothers

RECEIVED Tue., Aug. 23, 2005

Dear Editor,
    It was American mothers who were the catalyst for our withdrawal from Vietnam, and once again it is mothers leading the turn in public sentiment against the Iraq war [“Sheehan's Field of Dreams,” News, Aug. 19].
    If our country is ever attacked again, I hope that there is a mother sitting at her desk in the Oval Office. Recent history in mind, it seems that it will take someone other than a male politician to value the lives of our nation's youth.
