As the mother of a 21-year old, I can't imagine the heartache Cindy Sheehan is going through. And to save other mothers that same heartache she puts herself on the line in protest.
What does the chickenhawk in chief do? He ignores her. What do the right wing pundits do? They call her names, call her a traitor, say her sacrifice is unworthy because she does not have the same opinion of the war that they do.
How could we have fallen this far in America? "Freedom" is a parrotted word with no real meaning. Freedom to wave a flag, to think like they do...don't speak your mind, don't disagree, or you are unAmerican.
Tomorrow night there will be vigils for Cindy Sheehan. There is a concert in downtown Albany tomorrow, too. How can I go and have a good time knowing Cindy Sheehan almost 2,000 other mothers have lost their children to this hell on earth called Iraq?
