On the 26th of this month, Memorial Day, at 12:21 AM, Mia Farrow posted the following on her blog. The ‘What For?’ is her subject title, and one many of us have been asking for these 5plus years.
We have just learned that my nephew, Jason Deane, died in Iraq yesterday
His mother is my sister, Tisa Farrow. His dad is Terry Deane.
Jason loved and was loved by his parents, his sister, Bridget, his brother, Mitchell, his wife Judi and their three small children. He was my God-son and much loved by all of us in this large family.
He also loved his country and he was proud to serve.
But I honestly don’t know why Jason died. There was never any evidence of weapons of mass destruction. That was a lie. So people speculate — was it the oil? Or the old grudges of an old man — Cheney and his Halliburton? Or the unfinished business of the father — some haunting of the son? Saddam was bad — but by then a sleeping dog. Not making threats. The world is full of brutal leaders, some are worse than Saddam Hussein.
This war is as incomprehensible as it is unacceptable. In a cloud of confusion politicians, generals and ordinery people have come to see that it is a disaster. Exit plans are being discussed but Iraqi citizens and young Americans like our Jason are being killed.
For four years my sister has lived in fear of this day.
She is a nurse and was working at the hospital when the two uniformed men came to her home. Jason’s sister, Bridget opened the door. They went to the hospital to give Tisa the most terrible news a mother could hear.
I hope I never see George W Bush.
I could not shake his hand. He and his cabal have killed my beautiful nephew just as surely as if they had shot him. May God, if there is one, forgive them. I cannot.
Today Tisa and Terry, Bridget and Mitchell, Judi, and the three little ones – have been given a life sentence of grief.
How many more must die before this atrocity is stopped?
Three hours later she posts a photo site link of her nephews Infantry Division with the following
A photo site run by his infantry division.
Jaspn’s father Terry said “Jason loved the army and would want to be remembered as a good soldier.”
certainly he was that, and much, much more.
I ask the same question as Mia:
How many more must die before this atrocity is stopped?
Not only the Atrocity of Iraq, as well as that which has quickly turned into, Afganistan, but the Atrocities occurring as these military personal come home after Multiple Tours and once again are pushed aside, in their care and by a Nation more intent on a presidential campaign than the Reality of what this country will be facing!
This country that now Accepts Torture, Accepts the Lies that led to the Slaughter of Tens of Thousands of it’s own and innocents of Iraq and Afganistan, thinking zero about the reason for going into Afganistan in the first place, Accepts the Blank Checks of Corporate War Profitteers, Accepts the Blank Check of a Paid Mercenary Army, Accepts the Destruction of Law and the Constitution!!
I Light A Candle with Sadness but Memory of another Fallen Brother
For Mia’s Nephew, Jason and his Family, RIP Brother RIP, and in Memory of your Fallen Brothers and Sisters and Mine as well!
And I Ask The Question
Asked So Long Ago by a Gold Star Mother in Crawford Texas
Still Unanswered!!
And I would ask, Why was Mia’s Nephew Serving this Country but not the sons and daughters of those who sent them into these Occupations, especially the New Husband of a certain First Daughter?
Who’s ‘Patriotic’?
Who Serves the ‘National Defense’ of this Country?
According to Dick Cheney, Mia’s question has no place because Jason volunteered.He obviously enjoyed being in the Army.His death was due to a voluntary act and no one has any right to raise such questions.
the obvious answer is “greed and hubris”
peace
May I just say, right here, right now, that I am so sick and tired of reading diaries like this.
And that is not meant to be a slam against jimstaro or Mia Farrow or anyone else who posts them.
This sort of thing is on my mind today because I just learned that a friend of mine is being deployed. Thing is, I had no idea he even could be deployed, or that he’d ever been in active service. He’s probably about 30 years old, married wo a wonderful wife with two sweet kids. I think the oldest is in second grade. He’s just the nicest guy you’d ever want to meet, he’d do anything for anybody if it were in his power to do so . . .
And they’re gonna kill him. They’re gonna kill him dead. Even if he makes it back in one piece, the friend I knew is probably going to be gone. An environment like Iraq does that to people.
There’s plenty of business that needs to be taken care of once President Obama is sworn in on January 20th, bot none so important as getting us out of that hell hole. It won’t solve all of our problems, and who knows, maybe it’ll create new ones, but it’ll be the best start we could possibly make.
There is no good answer to that question, only bad ones.
That is very sad news for Mia Farrow and for the Farrow/Deane family. Too many Americans have died in Iraq. Far too many Iraqis have died in Iraq as a result of the illegal Bush US invasion.
I am pleased to say that as a result of the new Australian Government we elected last November, Australian combat troops are now leaving Iraq.

Lies, arrogance killed my nephew
Just as guilty, maybe even moreso, are the democrats who also lied about ending this war. Lied when they had no intention of using thier power to end it. And why would they? It’s not in the interests of their own political and financial futures to piss off the weapons manufacturers who feed them and thier campaigns.
Also complicit are citizens who turn away. We are all turning away from the brutal reality of what we are. What we all are.
