Cindy Sheehan : Magna cum laude and a challenge to the world
Advertisements [?]
For seven days now
one single mother
is keeping hope alive
in a ditch in texas.

But she is not alone - witness the press conference from Crawford
.

Compare & contrast to the US pResident's not-so-coincidental appearance in another Crawford ditch. I do not have to link it for you, it has been all over the media. Cindy Sheehan is not-so-coincidentally much less covered. For now.

Her points are brought with the calm strong tone of truth.
His are a jammering repeat of old talking points.
She is asking questions. Brings up the DSM.
He is answering none. Makes war on a noun.

There have been those who argued that once Cindy would get company, her cause would be diluted and it would lose the greek tragedy quality that has given the story it's legs.
Others argued the power of numbers.

There ARE a lot more people in Crawford (this generation's Woodstock badly needs a good band to come over and play) but they do not dilute her cause. It only seems Cindy's cause is not an isolated one.

Someone in the peace camp decided on the question of 1 or many. And decided it in exactly the right way. Same message from several people. To those who decided on the format of the press conference, I say magna cum laude, you have mastered public relations. Not that it is that hard with the truth in your support. :-)

The world, I challenge to look at this and not

FEEL


the groundswell


of truth to power.





Good evening truthseekers!
