Henderson is right. Why does a peaceful nation with no imperialist aspirations spend more on weapons of mass destruction than the next 25 countries combined? More than number two by a factor of ten?

We are in Iraq because it has the second-largest proven oil reserves in the world; to pretend we are there to spread freedom and democracy is to spit on the graves of people like Casey Sheehan and in the faces of their families.

Thought you'd like to know:

The family of Casey Sheehan, an American soldier killed in Iraq in April, 2004, has broken their silence and spoken out against Sheehan's much-publicized mother, Cindy Sheehan, who has undertaken a vocal anti-war protest against President Bush outside Mr. Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch.

The family's statement reads: "The Sheehan Family lost our beloved Casey in the Iraq War and we have been silently, respectfully grieving. We do not agree with the political motivations and publicity tactics of Cindy Sheehan. She now appears to be promoting her own personal agenda and notoriety at the expense of her son's good name and reputation. The rest of the Sheehan Family supports the troops, our country, and our President, silently, with prayer and respect." The statement was signed "sincerely" by "Casey Sheehan's grandparents, aunts, uncles and numerous cousins."

Get your history book out. Get a pen and some paper. Reality is tough and messy. Vacuums of power are not good. The planet is lucky the strongest country is so fair and good...and fair to a darn fault.
