Tom, I put Ms Sheehan right up there with hanoi john . It seems that NO body has looked on the other side of the coin. First of all, that's why Vietnam fell we pulled out before the job was done. Second of all no one wants to lose and loved one and no one wants to see the loved one hurt so bad they cry through the night. but to pull out when the going gets tough? boy, I'm glad they weren't around in 1776. because of all the news media that's just looking for something negitive too say about the President, they throw out this crap.. I feel for her pain and loss, one must realize that he could have died just as easy on the interstate, and that would have been a waste. At least Casey was doing what he thought was right as so many of those who gave there all thought. But to lift Ms Sheehan up as a spokespreson for all those who lost loved ones is really a disgrace for all those young Men and Women who gave all for.. SHE, left her post because her mother was sick, it seems to me she is nothing more than a pawn for the media to sling more poisonous crap at those who believe in what we are fighting for. she will never speak for me and I will always thank and pray for those who have the guts to stand up for FREEDOM... after all that's why she is able to speak her mind... thanks to people like her Son Casey...
