From her Saiyuki-Stargate crossover, I think she may put more focus on Jack's characterization from the movie than most viewers. In the movie, he was chosen for the mission precisely because of his mental trauma. In the show, he seems to have gotten mostly past that because he has a new purpose and people he cares about, though his past with his son does come up now and again when a child is endangered. The version Vathara writes really hasn't moved forward all that much, he just has people around him who can cope with his issues.
Edit: That being said, one of Vathara's frequent themes is stories in which there are multiple groups or factions of "good guys", or at least not that bad guys, but they interpret actions and events differently because of their culture, history, experiences, or available information. This story has the beginnings of a clash between the military culture of SGC and the culture the SAOvivors developed. I'm inclined to reserve judgement until we see what Jack and the other SGC folk do with more complete information.

No, I don't believe the world has gone mad. In order for it to go mad it would need to have been sane at some point.
