Reply #116: "The only party attempting to end the war?" Which party would that be Sara?

Were you by chance sleeping through the last boondoggle of 124 billion going to fund more Halliburton suites, create more killing machines which they will most likely bring back here and use against us the American citizens, murder more innocent families and watch as yet more blood stops up the sewers in the defeated Iraqi towns, fund and ignite more wars so the war profiteers will own us all eventually?

Because that is what has just been funded in your name and in my name.

Let me ask you.

Have you lost a son to an illegal war Sara?

Have you lost a daughter to a war?

Have you stayed up night after night, like Cindy and other parents have, feeling utterly powerless, consumed with fear, doubt, living every moment with the possibility your son might in fact be killed today, or tomorrow, or the next day. Have you had to try your best to block it out of your mind but your whole day and night are constantly driven by the fear eating at every present moment you live?

Have you ever gotten "the phone call" that every parent lives in dread of receiving?

Have you lost a child in a war manufactured by totally intentional lies and then watch as the Democratic Congress along with Republicans which we know would engage in such behavior further enable Bush and Cheney's war by delivering him a check of OUR TAXPAYER money for his war - ie the Iraqi "resolution" I believe is what they called it?

Have you known what its like to live with the knowledge that your child died for no reason other than other draft dodgers could make more fucking money than they already have?

Have you stayed up all night second guessing yourself, how you raised your child, what you did right, what you did wrong, how you might have prevented them from enlisting when they had already made up their mind they were going?

Do you have any idea what parents of these kids go through?

I don't think you do.

If you did, I doubt you would be as self-righteous as you are.

Have you given your life to stopping this war?

Cindy has.

And yet you attack her.

What does that say about you?

I often wonder if individuals who criticize those doing the right thing actually envy courage like Cindy's and their strength?

It's your choice Sara to accuse and attack someone like Cindy Sheehan. It's also your choice to believe those who are betraying your best interest.

However, as in everything it says much more about you than it ever could about Cindy Sheehan.
