Who Speaks For Casey Reply 1

Cindy Sheehan has every right to grieve over her son’s death. Obviously, no one can say what her son would say about his mother’s actions.

Your article utterly misses the point of this mother's actions, but your agenda is clear: Equate dissent with anti-Americanism.

(Gee, that's original!)

Yes, Cindy has every right to grieve her son's death but not to use that death as an opportunity to call the president names and to tell us that the USA is a terrorist state and other statements that do not show grieve but a disdain for the very thing her son volunteered to do.

I respect grief and dissent but that respect ends when name calling begins. When you use that grief to create a national or international spectacle, it is no longer grief but activism.

I would advise you to read a few of the statements Cindy has made and then decide if she is expressing grief or promoting an ideology. Casey's actions appear to be the opposite of his mother's. If Casey did not want to go and was forced or drafted, then I would be in more agreement with Cindy's actions.
