“They have no truth to fight truth with…
... so they fight truth with more lies and hate”
So says Cindy Sheehan, the Gold Star Mom staked out in front of George Bush’s Crawford, Texas ranch. Sheehan would like an audience with the President so that she might ask why her son had to die in Iraq. By extension, she is asking the question that all of us should be asking journalists, congressmen, and each other: why have we consigned so many to die in this war? For what purpose? Sheehan has been asking for an accounting from her president for her dead son’s life, and by extension for the lives of all the soldiers who have died in this tragic pursuit. For her troubles, she has been attacked and smeared by the right wing media.
Read Sheehan’s full entry at The Huffington Post. As short as it is, it is thoughtful, honest, touching, and hopeful.
