<p>Cindy's been on the news A LOT in my area (Washington DC) and I was listening, not watching the news, and I was amazed that I remember who she was without hearing the latest story. I personally think that it was awfully rude of the security kicking that lady out with the support our troops shirt. That is a 100% violation of free speech. According to what I heard, she wasn't even doing anything wrong! I personally think, though, that Cindy Sheehan has met with pres bush not 1, but 2 times, and needs to chill out JUST a little. Even though I'm not a bush supporter, i know he's under great stress and having a slightly wacko (not as in crazy but as in mom-missing-her-son wacko) mom on your case all the time cannot help much at all.</p>
<p>Cindy Sheehan is a nuthead. </p>
<p>It was hilarious when they showed her IMPORTANT BOOK SIGNING BOOK place. All the media outlets went intending to take pictures of the massive amount of people supporting her. In the end, no one bought her book and so no one wanted it autographed.</p>
<p>i think she's standing up for what she believes in, and i support that. however, i think she's let the plublicity go to her head( anyone seen how her and chavez have become pal's?)</p>
<p>She has every right to do what she is doing. You guys are criticizing someone who has LOST A SON and wants to do something about the way U.S is run.Who cares if she is on Bush's case every single second of the day or who cares if she is cosntantly seeking media attention to get her views through the public. She is the symbol anti-war and everyone, unless you are crazy, knows the dangers of war and entering a conservative country which has lived in a religiously conservative society. If you enter a country that has followed religious ideals for the past thousand years or so and try to change the way they live, of course there is going to be violence.
Cindy Sheehan should be praised because she realized the mistake of war and speaking out. It is not she wants to avenge the death of her son, it is that she doesnt want other American families to get the tragic news that their son/daughter died because of a mistake a president made. </p>
<p>TuftsPlease,
How dare you call her a nuthead? You realize how much she is going through? Losing a son. So are you calling someone who lost a son and wants to speak out against an unjust war a nuthead? She has every right to do what she is doing. Of couse the government does not respect that because they arrested her for expressing her opinion. (well found out she had charges dropped).</p>
<p>sheehan was apologized to and the charges were dropped</p>
<p>Her son died doing something he believed in, promoting democracy and freedom. Maybe she should accept that being in the military was his decision and he was willing to risk his life for it. Would she risk her life for that? </p>
<p>Most military families suport their sons/daughters and their country....</p>
<p>Well, American soldiers are supppose to be protecting the welfare of the American repulic. The Iraq was unjust war and soldiers' lives should have not being scarificed like that.</p>
<p>what do you mean, "unjust?" Unjustifiable? By whose standards? Yours?</p>
<p>it's a very debateable war, lets face it. cindy's doing what she feels is right. we may agree with it or not, but that doesn't change the fact that she's doing it.</p>
<p>I agree with that point, but I disagee that the war can be labeled as unjust.</p>
<p>Why not? 10 char.</p>
<p>I say that the war is just. You say that it is unjust. I state my reasons, you state yours. I rationalize my reasons with axioms and so do you. So at essence there will be a conflict of values. Can you prove to them that their value is wrong? You probably can't and thus you cannot say that the war is unjust.</p>
<p>She is a commie nutjob and deserves no respect. I respect Casey Sheehan who voluntarily enlisted, went to IRAQ, RE-ENLISTED, and died serving his country. His mother is a ***** who hangs out with the Communist Party USA and CODE PINK, who support the terrorists who killed her son in the first place. **** her.</p>
<p>"The biggest terrorist in the world is George Bush."
"I DEFINITELY think that we should support war resisters in the military."
"You get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine, and you'll stop the terrorism."
"Is there anyone in America who cannot yet see that Donald Rumsfeld is a liar... that he, as with Hitler and Stalin... will say anything so long as he thinks it will help shape the world to his own liking?"</p>
<p>Cindy Sheehan is a radical moonbat who doesn't deserve to be taken seriously.</p>
<p>She was talking about "occupied New Orleans" as well. She's insane.</p>
<p>she's by far a radicalist, and i think she's taken everything over the top, but i still feel that she's not a terrible person or a nutjob, just very very opinionated</p>
<p>baffled: Not a nutjob? Read the quotes again...</p>
<p>i read them. i think she's a radicalist that probably doesn't belong in the US, but more along the lines of cuba and venezuela. but she's got freedom of speech and a strong opinion, can't call her a nutjob for having odd beliefs</p>
<p>Her views are perfectly justified since we are fighthing President Bush's war, not America's war. Her son lost his life in the line of duty for an unjust cause which involves the US trying to set up democratic regimes in the Middle East where cultural values differ vastly from ours. The US needs to stop getting involved in wars that don't involve us as we're destabalizing the Mideast and promoting Western hatred. Cindy's son payed the ultimate price in a war which America should never have entered.</p>
<p>I TOTALLY agree with you evil<em>asian</em>dictator. Though I was on Cindy's side, I'm now getting quite annoyed of her and feel that all the publicity has gone to her head. Even though I don't agree with this war, her son made the choice to go and fight, knowing very well that he could die. </p>
<p>This war is unjust because its cause was that Iraq had WMDs, which haven't been found. Now I think its great that Saddam's oppressive government was overthrown and that a democratic one can be put into place, but when why the hell did it take us so long to do it!? Why couldn't we have just ousted Saddam while we were driving his forces away from Kuwait in the first Gulf War? When the U.N put sanctions on Iraq after that war, only the common people suffered, especially the poor children where millions of them died from starvation whereas Saddam was still living it up in his dozens of golden palaces, the sanctions barely fazed him.</p>
<p>Also, there were plenty of people in Iraq more than happy to overthrow Saddam like the Shiites and Kurds, but didn't have the military power to do so. We could have just provided them with aid just like we did to the Northern Alliance who helped us oust the Taliban govt in 2001. If we let them oust Saddam instead, the insurgency would be either nonexisted or reduced from today as they wouldn't view us as imperialist occupying pigs out to take their oil</p>
