Even the lefties in congress won't line up behind such an obviously disturbed individual. But I see that doesn't stop the likes of you.

Sheehan has done a good job getting people motivated (on both sides). I think healthy debate on the war is a good thing- (and where healthy debate slides in to character assassination it is a bad thing.) In general I have to say that I'm glad Ms. Sheehan decided to do what she has done. I am pleased with the results. However, even if I had not been pleased, I would still have supported her right to speak out on what she believed, without being attacked personally. Attacking ideas is one thing, but very few of us are pure enough of heart to honestly be able to critique our adversaries when it comes to personal characteristics.

In reading the article you posted, and some others recently, it seems like over and over again in quotes from the parents of dead children who support Bus h, we are hearing the same refrain--that we must keep what we are doing in Iraq or the loss of their children would be in vain. I don't think that is a very logical way to think! If we kept on with that, even though the war is pretty much totally unsuccessful so far, we will end up with a lot more dead children and not much to show for it except for a totally devastated Iraq, terrorism in full bloom in more places, more dead civilians, etc. How are more deaths going to bring these parents any comfort? I don't understand. I think they would totally break down if they had to look objectively at what is happening and conclude that their children died for nothing positive at all.
