CINDY SHEEHAN
JAMES LILEKS has his thoughts here and here on Cindy Sheehan.The hard left in America needs to realize a bald, cruel fact: Anyone who sees no moral distinction between Israel and the mullahs of Iran, or sees the U.S. attempt to set up a constitutional republic in Iraq as equivalent to the Syrian occupation of Lebanon, suffers from incurable moral cretinism. The more the fervent anti-war base embraces these ideas, the more they ensure that no one will trust the left with national security. Ever.
Will they learn the lesson? Even money says Sheehan will be sitting in the Michael Moore seat next to Jimmy Carter at the '08 Democratic convention.

While I understand Ms. Sheehan's desires and sympathize with her pain, I really don't think she is going to get anywhere. The hangers-on that make up the rest of the "protest" are simply making things even worse.
You'd think a few people would start to realize that you can't just be against something. You have to have a legitimate solution, and running away from responsibility is never a legitimate solution.
For my part, I've tried (http://xpatriatedtexan.blogspot.com/2005/08/unpopular-with-right-unpopular-with.html ). Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to "make it so".
