According to Drudge, Cindy Sheehan is now saying not only should the U.S. get out of Iraq, but that Israel should get out of Palestine. She says that if that happens, all terrorism will stop. I wonder if she also thinks we should get out of Afghanistan.
Oh, and she says she’s not paying her taxes either. That’s a clever move.
At one time, she was a sympathetic figure. However, she seems to have been taken in by the anti-war left and has become what Lenin called a “useful idiotâ€.
I think Mohammad has the best answer to her questions about her son’s death.
I know how you feel Cindy, I lived among the same pains for 35 years but worse than that was the fear from losing our loved ones at any moment. Even while I'm writing these words to you there are feelings of fear, stress, and sadness that interrupt our lives all the time but in spite of all that I'm sticking hard to hope which if I didn't have I would have died years ago.Ma'am, we asked for your nation's help and we asked you to stand with us in our war and your nation's act was (and still is) an act of ultimate courage and unmatched sense of humanity.
Our request is justified, death was our daily bread and a million Iraqi mothers were expecting death to knock on their doors at any second to claim someone from their families.
Your face doesn't look strange to me at all; I see it everyday on endless numbers of Iraqi women who were struck by losses like yours.
Our fellow country men and women were buried alive, cut to pieces and thrown in acid pools and some were fed to the wild dogs while those who were lucky enough ran away to live like strangers and the Iraqi mother was left to grieve one son buried in an unfound grave and another one living far away who she might not get to see again.
She could read Mohammad’s thoughts, but I don’t think it would make any difference. It appears that all she has left is her hate. I think this famous quote likely sums up her mental state, “From hell's heart, I stab at thee. For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee.â€
