We chased him away from his ranch. We protest all over the country without him being in attendance, so I don't think it takes away (from this vigil) a bit because he never met with us anyway.
Seems lak haf' the country be plumb crazy.
I don't think aggression on a country that was no threat to the United States is noble.
I don't believe dying in a war of aggression on a country that's no threat to the United States of America is a noble cause.
What is the 'noble cause' for which you sent our country to war?
Our country has been overtaken by murderous thugs... gangsters who lust after fortunes and power.
It's not patriotism when you say my country, right or wrong,
I feel like I gave my son to this country in an illegal and immoral war, and I'll never get him back.
I think Michael Moore is an amazing man - an amazing, brave man. And I think people are probably going to start saying, 'Don't associate with Cindy Sheehan.' People who speak truth to power somehow are marginalized in this country.
I am tired of the warmakers making war with our children. I am tired of our tired troops being sent over to do the dirty work for mob bosses who are going to squeeze the life out of Iraq and not leave until every asset and every natural resource has been raped from the country. I am tired of seeing Iraqis burying their loved ones and hearing the reverberating screams of mothers all over our country who are being destroyed for the benefit of a very few.
We really need to stop the imperialist tendencies of countries like the United States and Great Britain
After the tragedy of 9/11 we were on our way to becoming a fledgling Matriotic society until our leaders jumped on the bandwagon of inappropriate and misguided vengeance to send our young people to die and kill in two countries that were no threat to the USA or to our way of life. The neocons exploited patriotism to fulfill their goals of imperialism and plunder. This sort of patriotism begins when we enter kindergarten and learn the nationalist 'Pledge of Allegiance'. It transcends all sense when we are taught the 'Star Spangled Banner', a hymn to war.
I love my country. But how many more of our loved ones need to die in this senseless war?
America has been killing people on this continent since it was started. This country is not worth dying for...
