Keeping in mind that fighting terrorism and it's causes is quite different than the issue of invading Iraq...

Well Hillary does and should be ashamed. She did the easier thing and fell in line with the prevailing mood of the country at the time. Post-911 was not an easy time to speak up with a contrian but possibly more sensible viewpoint. The pro-war folks in Dubya's camp made you look like and feel like a traitor if you didn't fall in line. After 3 years of this war, however it would appear that the anti-invasion viewpoint was more correct. Whether risking political suicide was wiser than going with the flow is definitely a debatable topic, and one that probably never can be definitively decided.

Cindy Sheehan was scheduled to appear last night on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, which I was really looking forward to. It turned out that this big "media whore" had to cancel to attend to her mother who had a stroke.

You see how she uses her ailing mother to further her agenda??!!

She's devious.

It is pathetic that you are praising her for not keeping her television appearance because of her sick mother. I would think that would be a common decision for most sane people to make.

Could you please cite the words anyone used to praise her for attending to her sick mother? My thought was that it runs counter to the portrayal of her as a media whore.

Cindy Sheehan is expected to come to D.C. in a few weeks. In light of this nation's recent and ongoing tragedy do you think she ought to suspend her efforts to meet with the President? Would you were you her? Or would you stay the course?

Smart money is on piping down for the time being. BushCo. will be lashing out at anyone that can provide a distraction from the poor federal response to Katrina.
