Sandy Sheehan, do you support her anti-war stance?

But YOU are entitled to YOUR opinion, right? Sounds like hating someone you think hates must make you miserrable.

Well, not really. What was proved yesterday is that Americans are fed up. I do not support the democrats or republicans. I support the Socialist Equality Party (SEP). What yesterday's election proves is that even as the democrats move to the right and the populace to the left, they are still seen as the only option by most. The democrats are not anti-war, they are not pro working-class. They are as bad as the republicans, but they are still seen as the only alternative because of our two party system. Check out the SEP's website if you are against the war and inequality in general:\n\nhttp://www.wsws.org\n\nThanks a lot for reading.

I support Bush; I'm not so sure about the war. I think he's worrying too much what critics are thinking about what's going on and not going full force.

I personally think that Cindy Sheehan is a selfish symbol of an anti-American movement. As a military member I think that, no matter what, brave men and women will always stand up to defend our great country. I realize that she is a grieving mother but at the same time she has failed to honor the life that her son freely gave to defend you and I. I know if I was to be killed in duty and my mother was doing what Cindy is I would come back and haunt her everyday. She needs to be proud that she raised a son who volunteer to serve and give the ultimate price. Draft scare tactics have been around for a long time but if you look at the raw numbers of military members we do not show any need for the draft. Recruitment numbers may be down but we are also lowering the number of needed servicemen and women with every advance in technology.

The problem is that she doesn't think, all she is able to do is regurgitate strong opinions.  This is the women who insisted on Canadian radio that Canada fought in Vietnam, then argued with the Radio personality when he corrected her.  In her mind she is the only one who is right.\n\nI believe that governments have an obligation to take care of their populations.  These women lost their spouses because their country failed to protect them from an outside force, they deserve compensation for that.  But what do I know, I am a liberal, socialist Canadian!?

No, we shouldn't, and it pisses me off when people claim that those of us who oppose the war also oppose the troops. It simply isn't true, because we support the troops so much that we want them to come home.

For my own part, I thank you. I wholeheartedly disagree with anyone who blames our troops for doing their best to fight for our country. I do not agree with the politics that sent you there, but I will fight that battle with the politicians in the best way that I can. I think that there is more support than there was for the soldiers who fought in Viet Nam, and I would like to think that this rise in support shows that more Americans are beginning to understand the need to support our troops. The argument as to why we are there, and whether it's right or wrong, is one best fought with politicians, not with those who fight so hard for us. Again, thank you!

I am a member of the Socialist Party USA which is a common leftist third party organization. I also have ties with the Revolutionary Communist Party and the Anarchist Black Cross. From my experience people who believe leftists are antisemitic and that is someone's personal opinion are failing to seperate two different issues. Almost all leftist either a) Do not the support the right of the state of Israel to exist b) Are strongly criticial of Israel or both. Our problem is not with the Jews. Their are amny Jews who are leftists themselves. What we have a problem with however is the corrupt way the state of Israel manages it's affair as a nation we have no problem with Jews our problem is with the nation of Israel. Isael is currently threating to nuke Iran and provoke World War III. I think any nation that would use nuclear weapons in this manner needs to be diarmed by force. Iran is also a country that is very corrupt. There are differences though as well. a) Iran didn't force people out of their country to create it they have always lived there. b) Iran has been condemned by pretty much the entire world for their actions Israel has not been condemned by anyone that has the military force to keep them in check for their actions. Our problem once more is with the state of Isael not Jews. I would have no problem with letting everybody in Isael move to the US if they so choose to create a Palastinian state.

Well it would be nice for us to join this century and finally vote in someone who is not male (someone non-white and non-Christian someday would be nice too).\nI am torn about supporting her though, she has moved so far to the right to try to have more appeal that she is losing her support on the left.  I will not vote for someone just because of her gender, I have to believe in her too.\n\nShe does have a good stance on women's issues and education (she's pro-choice, safe access to unbiased counseling and she is working on reducing abortions by making Emergency Contraception more available).\nHowever, she's conservative on Immigration\n\nI've linked to her issues (see below).

Is deportation an option?\n\nShe's obviously unhappy here. Maybe she'd rather go someplace where she can deal with some REAL problems. There are plenty of systems of "government" under which she would be permanently silenced, and disappear. Cindy Sheehan WHO??\n\nShame on her for desecrating the life and the memory of her own son.

Thank you. I didn't know that. As the wife of a serving British Army Officer I often get the impression that the opposite is the case. Some of the bizarrely Gung-ho statements don't help. I mean what on Earth does 'Ladies and gentlemen, we got him' say to a watching World? or, a recently aired interview with an American Soldier serving in Iraq who referred to 'zapping' Iraqis. We joined you in making a terrible mistake. I have been deprived of my husband for a year in the last three whilst he served on two Operational Tours, and a 27 year old friend mourns her husband. There were, and are, no WMD and all we can do now is to try to help clear up the terrible mess we made and hope that our UN Allies, the French & the Germans will forgive us. I don't suppose the people of Iraq ever will. You are right. It's not your fault. It's your Government's fault and my Government's fault and the only way we can truly protest (although as a Senior Army Officer's wife, I have marched against this war) is at the polling booth.

Not only do I not support him, but he has made me reconsider my stance on free speech. You may hate the war and hate our president but I do not feel that anybody has the right to protest, disrupt and spew hate at a solders funeral. They are our sons and daughters serving us, so that we can go about our daily lives. They follow the orders of our government and lay down their lives on our behalf. It is not there fault that the war may be wrong, they are doing what they believe has to be done. Right or wrong, they are serving us. If we change our leaders and told them to come home they would, If we told them to charge he11 with a bucket of water, they would do that too.\n\nIf Fred showed up at my sons funeral, I would personally walk up and shoot him in the mouth and then do the same to his fascist daughter as well.\n\nThe more of these right and left wing wack jobs that pop up, the more in favor of limits to free speech I become, and that's not good!

I am fairly conservative...but I can't stand her. She is mean and a big mouth. Just google what she says about 9/11 widows...( it is too mean to even repeat here)

Yes and she was a wonderful person.\n\n\nTo Dreamer:\nActually the Israeli Soldier driving the Caterpillar Bulldozer could clearly see and hear her. She was yelling through a loudspeaker and was standing above eye level with him and was wearing florescent orange.\n\nHer coworkers were standing a couple of feet away from her. Again, All wearing flourescent orange.\n\nThe Israeli soldier simply didn't give a hoot about her or her life and wanted to kill her. \n\nHe simply knocked her down with his crane, then ran over her with his IDF Bulldozer, Not Once BUT Twice!!!! To make sure she was dead.\n\nRIP to her!\n\n\n\nEdit: Mister Truth,\nYou ever heard of FREEDOM of EXPRESSION???\nFlag burning is still Legal in America.\nBesides, the picture you posted, its not clear if the girl is even her to start with!\nYou sound like a Neo-Conservative Far Right fruitcake!\n" terrorists supporting girl ".\nShe supported the Palestinian PEOPLE. Not the terrorists. \nWhat part of PEOPLE does NOT Equal Terrorists don't you understand???\n\nEdit: mo mosh,\n" Here is a picture of Rachel Corrie teaching Arab kids how to burn an American flag:\nhttp://www.honestreporting.com/graphics/...  "\n\nLol. From the pictures on that page, its not clear who that person is.\n\n\n" Here is a website that exposes the violent anti-Semitic group that Corrie belonged to: http://www.stoptheism.com "\n\n\nViolent???? Typical propaganda from people like you. You call a Humanitarian Organization "violent anti-Semitic"???? Lol nice try. :)\nThe ISM is a Humanitarian Organization.\nWhat will you claim next??? That the Red Cross and Red Crescent are "violent anti-Semitic"?? By the same token, you might aswell claim that the UN is "violent anti-Semitic".\n\n\n" Now that Israel is more aware of this group, their members are being stopped before entering Israel to help carry out terror attacks. "\n\n\nLmao. What will you say next??? That the Red Cross and Red Crescent "help carry out terror attacks"??\nThe only reason Israel is stopping these HUMANITARIAN workers from entering Israel and the Palestinian territories is because you don't want them to help the Palestinians and you don't like the fact that they stand up for the Palestinian Peoples right to exist! You consider them a pest because they support the Palestinian peoples HUMAN RIGHTS!\n\n\n" This policy should prevent more brainwashed Rachel Corries from thinking battlefields are playgrounds. "\n\nIncorrect, this policy will prevent the Palestinians getting Humanitarian aid from this Organization.

I came from a very well to do family and served as an officer in the Army during Dersert Storm. I also know that I am by far, not only one from the good side of the tracks. Please don't even begin to preach about this being a Poor Man's War. As a Sneior NCO, I would expect you to know better. I support the troops and the goal 100%. I do wish we had a better plan, and would definiately like to see the peace in that region and our servicemen and women home sooner than later. My opinion has nothing to do with supporting the party line.

NO \nIran backs Hamas--so Yes to the terrorist attacks.
