I was objecting to referring to Cindy Sheehan's agenda because I think it was being used in a derogatory way, the way the far right makes almost everything normal derogatory. I was objecting to that usage. For example, doesn't George Bush have an agenda? Yes he does, of course! His daddy didn't quite finish beating the crap out of Iraq, and Saddam, their old friend and CIA operative until things changed, tried to kill him, so son George W. jumped in to avenge his father's honor and win his love, attention and approval bigtime. Now isn't that an agenda? Of course it is. But we wrap it all in an American flag and try to make it noble somehow, while gullible young Americans are being slaughtered over there and are slaughtering innocent Iraqi civilians at the same time, while the whole sorry place breaks up into the tribes that were there before Saddam inflicted order by force. Now that bit about George and his daddy is a lot more twisted and dark than anything anyone in the anti-war movement can probably even contemplate. But because Cindy Sheehan is very vulnerable to attack, I still think it would be better if she moved a bit more into the background as others join up. Just my opinion.
