It's child abuse!

Some anti-american parent or teacher is encouraging children to send heinous messages to our wounded soldiers telling them to die. I wouldn't put it past these people to send cards purporting to be from children. I've heard of school teachers having their pupils compose letters to soldiers opposing the war, which I consider a firing offense, but this is really sick. This shouldn't be protected speech. Anybody who'd teach a kid to do this ought to be deported to Iran. (Note that I didn't wish them to die, since they are basically supporting the regime there.)

The Democrats should make this a big deal and condemn it categorically. Will they? Will they even tone down their own rhetoric? Don't hold your breath.

Update: Not in response to this, but Dean's latest soundbite fits right in.

On the other hand, a cruelty can bring about an outpouring of good. You can add to the flood by sending a card, letter, or some long distance calling cards to:

Joshua Sparling
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20307-5001

or calling (202)782-3501 (Walter Reed Medical Center) for some other soldiers who could use some cheering up.
