Surprise can not sum up the feeling I got when I learned that Cindy Sheehan, pawn of the American press, had flown to Canada to petition our government to encourage treason in her own country. This is the same woman who felt it necessary to dishonor her own son's memory by protesting the fact that her son, an adult, had died doing what he had chosen to do; protecting freedom.
I am sure that this subject brings with it a serious amount of emotion. The number of people now opposed to the Iraq war is most likely at its highest point. That, however, really has no bearing on this story.
When one enters the American military, or any other for that matter, I can't imagine one not contemplating being required to go into battle. Sure, we live in a time of relative calm, especially here in North America, but armed forces are armed for a reason.
When parents like Cindy Sheehan feel the need to assemble a stage and rail against the decisions that led to her son being sent to Iraq, they inadvertently do a massive amount of damage. While they are entitled to their beliefs and have the right to speak their minds, these parents only accomplish one thing and that is to bolster the enemy. They strengthen the resolve of those evil men and women overseas whose delight is piqued by knowing they are about to shed American and Canadian blood. By railing against her own government, the likes of Cindy Sheehan encourage the enemy abroad to step up its attacks against other American and Canadian sons and daughters; children such as her own.

Truly an Ugly American.
This writer is wasting his time. Arguing with a lunatic just makes you look like the basket case.
That the Left isn't embarrassed proves their incredible immaturity.
She is one sick lady.
There is absolutely nothing inadvertent about it.

"While the four bodies who arrived back in Canada at the end of last month saddened me immensely, they also made me pretty darned proud. To know that I live among giants who are willing to lay down their life for me, to realize that such people aren't only in our history books, makes me honoured to live here."
So refreshing to read this in the Canadian press.
My thoughts exactly... How the heck did this editorial slip through?
Canada doesn't have a real press, or media. They have bunch of leftwing lunatics who spoon feed a leftist, socialist and extreme liberal agenda to a public already numbed by decades of anti-American clap-trap. Every now and then though, a glint of sanity comes to the fore.
Kudos to Mr. Lawrence, hes done a real nice piece on Ms. Sheehan, who is obviously mentally ill and has declared herself the enemy of everything her son has died for. Poor wretch that she is
What kills me about Sheehan is that her son VOLUNTEERED for a mission that he knew was very dangerous. He died as a result of it... and this twit has the gall to defecate on the grave of her son. What a pathetic fool.
Cindy Sheehan=usefull idiot of the left.
(Denny Crane: "Every one should carry a gun strapped to their waist. We need more - not less guns.")
Her son was a career soldier, he had reenlisted before he died.
I disagree.
It is entirely intentional.

Has Sheehan offered a single piece of evidence that Casey had expressed regret about enlisting, re-enlisting, or serving in Iraq? I don't believe she has; no letters, no friends' accounts, no fellow soldiers' accounts. We're supposed to take her word for it. I'd bet she's received letters from Casey saying he's not going to bail on the people he's helping. If letters from Casey do exist and they concur with her opinions, I can't imagine that she wouldn't use them in her propaganda campaign.
If her handlers weren't so expert at keeping her away from truly probing interviews, we might get an answer to that question. Then again, she might fake a bad connection again so she can pretend she can't hear the question.
I think that soft voice of hers has helped hide a heart of ice and a soul of total self.
