Children of a Prozac Nation: Tim Blair provides a link to this story about the human shields in Iraq, who were not only so naive as to think that Iraq would use them to shield civilians, but also placed supreme confidence in modern pharmacology to alleviate all woes:

During one cold, rainy night in Milan, we were left without our sleeping bags after an Italian went AWOL with the support bus. Later, a 500 [English pound] donation from a well-wisher in Istanbul was squandered on boxes of Prozac in a misguided attempt to cheer up the war-weary Iraqi civilians.

They’ve obviously seen too many Prozac ads.
