I can understant where Sheenan is coming from. Whats wrong with holding your government responsible? After all, they work for us, not the other way around. What I don't understand from the support the troops crowd is how so many of them can gather at one place and not look at each other and wonder why they are not all enlisting to really support the troops..

Pro-Bush, anti-Cindy Across town in Crawford, other parents of soldiers who are serving or have died in Iraq countered Sheehan with their own raucous rally that started with a prayer. The pro-Bush caravan was coordinated by Move America Forward, a group led by former California Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian and Republican strategist Sal Russo. Organizer Howard Kaloogian accused Sheehan of "giving hope and encouragement to our enemies." The crowd, which organizers said topped 3,000 but appeared closer to 1,500, chanted "Cindy, Go Home" and compared her to Jane Fonda, whose visit to a North Vietnamese gun site in 1972 earned her the nickname "Hanoi Jane." "Cindy-Hanoi Jane," read one of the signs at the rally. In one heated moment, members of the pro-Bush crowd turned on what they mistakenly thought were a group of anti-war protesters, cursing them, threatening them and tearing down their signs. A police officer rushed the group to safety. Bush called a key Shiite leader this week to press for a deal to finish Iraq's constitution, a goal seen as a step toward a more-stable Iraq that would allow U.S. soldiers to eventually withdraw. Negotiations on a constitution have been deadlocked for weeks but are continuing. "What is important is that Iraqis are now addressing these issues through debate and discussion -- not at the barrel of a gun," Bush said. Bush's message was part of renewed push to counter critics of his Iraq war policy. But the latest Gallup poll showed that just two in five Americans approved of the job he was doing while 56 percent disapproved of his performance.
