Were you disturbed by the words on the back of the medals given to civilians killed. It was something like "from a grateful nation". That seemed lame - like we're grateful your loved one was killed. Maybe "from a nation that shares your gried" or something. My wife agreed that the actual wording seemed coarse and dimwitted.

I just read the New Republic article you linked. Bull's eye. That was a great read.

<<<<Do you object to (ie 'dis') Leon Wieseltier's 'dissing' of Updike's piece on the bombing? To me, his objection to the facile Updike treatment, and to Oprah's airheaded remark, gave great honor to the dead, as Updike's piece and Oprah's comment did not.>>

I DID NOT COMMENT on the Updike piece.ONLY OPRAH'S. I did not even see it.. I have not read the link you provided. Although I am guessing there is not much nexus to what I am writing about..
