More Cindy Sheehan Posts

The Libertarian site LewRockwell.com has a couple of good posts on Cindy Sheehan's revolution in the hot August sun that are worth a read. I'll give you a snippet from each but follow the links and read each post in it's entirety.

• George, Wake Up! Don’t Ever Make Someone’s Mother Angry

  George Bush will not win this one. Already there are people on the right trying to slander this grieving mother, and that will not work either. Cindy Sheehan represents every parent in America. She has given her most precious possession, her son, to George Bush’s War on Terrorism and she wants some answers.
  
  Millions of mothers will soon be watching how this plays out and if George Bush does not want to destroy any chance for the military to keep an all-volunteer army, he had better handle this "mother" with compassion.



• The Revolution Is Now

  There are few things more relentless this side of Hell than an August Texas sun. Unless it would be the lost souls of Fallujah crying out for justice through the Napalm flames. Or perhaps it is a mother so engulfed in grief at the cruel and needless loss of her child that her primal screams reverberate throughout the world. Except at the pig farm. Or within the entire US Senate. Or on the deaf ears of all but 38 of the 435 representatives in the US House.
  
  Six soldiers and marines were killed today. Four yesterday. In just 10 days of August, 44 Americans and many, many more innocent Iraqis have been murdered. We don't "do" body counts of Iraqi citizens, so there's no way of knowing how many have died, but we do know that more than four soldiers and marines have been slaughtered in a single day – every day. The pig farm president may not know where his children are tonight, but Casey Sheehan knows where his mother is – sweltering in 100-plus-degree weather on a desolate prairie – ignored by the commander-in-chief – but still out there, bravely supporting the troops.
