You don't understand? You don't understand why someone who doesn't remember 3 hours of her life in which horrible things happened to her including what she has been told by U.S. Army doctors was a sodomizing rape might be hesitant about meeting someone whose face and voice may bring back memories of horrors she would rather not face?

"Jessica Lynch is a young soldier living with horrible injuries and memories. Meeting Mohammed al-Rehaief, her Iraqi rescuer, would bring back many feelings and thoughts.
"Jessica's mother had sent word just days before Mohammad and his family arrived that Jessica was 'not ready.' Mohammed understood this, but chose to go ahead and come to West Virginia and keep his planned meetings with West Virginians.
"Mohammed and his family asked that we be patient with Jessica Lynch while she heals. He understands that her family must protect and support her at this time." - snip
If he knew in advance that she would not be meeting him, but he went anyway, he was not snubbed. He went to meet with others. If he is not impatient with her, why are you?
