Subject: RE: BS: Cindy Sheehan: A Mother's Love
Is tarheel a parent? Has he got a son of "military age" [what a sick expression]? If so, may I put a question? Would he, if blessed with such second sight, patriotically encourage his son to support his president and join this "war" in Iraq if he knew without question that his son was going to his death? Or would he be a parent worthy of the name and do all he could to dissuade his son from taking such a course? Or would he, as others so pathetically do, step forward proudly after the end of his boy's life, and insist that his "son died for freedom"? What "freedom"? Whose "freedom"?
It is likely that tarheel has no such son. If he has, may the lad beware;Bush wants him.
   There ARE causes worth fighting to the death for; the neocons' "war" doesn't come within a trillion miles....
