Subject: RE: BS: Cindy Sheehan: A Mother's Love
Same old lines from the same old political script. I remember some folks' knee-jerk defense of Richard Nixon because their looked for 'evidence' to prove their beliefs true rather than looking at the evidence and constantly re-evaluating their beliefs.

This has grown into something huge. This has become the beginning of the end to our war, I think. Something compassionate needed to start it because no one was listening to the shouted slogans and righteous anger gets boring after a while. As the folks reading from their scripts if anyone's listening anymore. Cindy Sheehan comes off as kind and sensible and is inspiring her opposition to act like a bunch of reactionary nuts. I do not think this was a very difficult accomplishment. This protest is different though, because it's got a human face and a human heart. At its heart, it's about one woman with a dead son who is trying very hard to make his death have some meaning.

Even if you don't agree with Cindy Sheehan or what she's doing, how can someone who's never met her say she's 'not a loving mother'? Oh yeah...it's in the script.
