This is the second time this type of statement has come from Stevie. So I wonder the same thing myself. I know Stevie watches the news so certainly she must know by now there is no connection to 9/11 and Saddam.
In first part of the journal entry, her feelings are right on. She can't sleep because she knows conciously or unconciously we are there for no good god damn reason. So she calls her mom who makes her feel better enough to go to sleep. And we all need someone like that sometimes.

It reminds me of Javier's Q&A when he recounted going over to Stevie's house with- I think it was Lindsey- and her mother answered the door and said something like "Why aren't you boys in Vietnam?"

I'm so relieved to hear how many of you disagree with Stevie's mom - even many so-caled "liberals" still think that killing all those thousands of people in Iraq and Afghanistan is somehow connected to America's "freedom". So thank you for your reason, and for not making this political.
Having said that, I have no reason to believe Stevie is that liberal - I wonder how much of it is wishful thinking on our parts, hoping she is but at the same time (somewhere deep inside of me) doubting it - don't ask me why.

Very cool of La Nicks to go visit and spread a little sunshine... those guys don't deserve what happened to them.

What a cool thing Stevie did, she has no motives. That should be an example to all of us (me, especially!)

LET'S GO SPREAD SOME PEACE AND LOVE TODAY!!

(sounds better than cleaning the house, doesn't it?

)

Couldn't have said it better myself (especially since today I am cleaning house)

Our soldiers need our love and support and I love how Stevie wanted to share her experience with us. I so wanted to give Stevie a hug after she said she cried.

Peace and Love.

Stevie is a very special angel.

Even Afganistan, where Al-Q was being kept and supported

I mean I get the no relation for Iraq, but Afganistan is way different. I guess we should have let them stay there or, better yet, believed the Afgan gov. when they told us OBL and Al-Q were not there and that OBL and AL-Q were good people and incapable of the events of 9/11.

The Afghan people didn't ask for it.... and especially since the US governemnt financed the Taliban for many years.... ooh dear, we're getting political now... sorry. Please don't respond to this!! Let's talk about Stevie....

She's a great gal!

I believe there are three aspects of human endeavor in which one can excel: artistic, scientific, moral. Stevie excels in the moral.

LOL - I agree - but I am always open to a lively debate on it in chit chat forum

This was, though, a great thing for La Nicks to do, esp. considering our own govt. screws these people on a regular basis.

Actually you summed it up pretty well before. I spoke with John after the show in Anaheim and he was just saying that Stevie had given him the new journal entries to post. He also shared that she visited a pregnant woman and went back to bring her some baby things, but sadly she passed away and Stevie was pretty distraught about it
