If my Mother behaved the way Cindy Sheehan did, I would strongly consider committing her to an Institution. She is making a spectacle of herself and the memory of her son, To say that our role in IRAQ was then and is now not in the best interest of the United States or IRAQ is one thing. On the other hand, to rant that this country is not worth fighting for and that the USA is not a good country is quite another thing entirely. One thing is for sure. The MoveOn.org and the extreme Left in this country can no longer portray themselves a merely protesters of US foreign policy. Their role in this affair, as well as that of Ms. Sheehans has gone well beyond that. They also have not helped the cause of peace, assuming that was their intent from the beginning ( which I now sincerely doubt).

Agreed. Also, if one of my children's names was used, as the leftists are now putting up white crosses with KIA'd troops names on them, I'd be driving down there to kick somebody's ass.

Well, there is one thing where I think the crazies have a point, which is that reverence of government behavior is not the same as patriotism. One can be a patriot without approving of US foreign policy. The difference, I think, is that many liberals who seem not to like their country in ANY way -- they think we're all dumb, arrogant, fat boors and hate that we're mostly Christian -- like to hide behind this fact. Sure, there are many forms of patriotism, but for many liberals, none apply to them.
