I don't think what Cindy Sheehan says is as important as what she represents. The opposition to Bush and the War finally has a human face.
That's what scares Karl Rove and why he doesn't want Bush to meet her face to face. It will show how small he really is.
Remember that scene in Jaws when that women in mourning slaps the Chief for letting kids swim when he knew there'd been a shark attack. The Chief had the guts to shut down the beaches after that.
Cindy Sheehan is the same woman. Bush, unlike the Chief, is afraid to face her.
It's weird how the popular mind works. Rosa Parks refuses to give up her seat and then you've got the bus boycott.
Will Cindy spark something as momentous? Time will tell.
Four more years in Iraq don't sound very promising--and the all volunteer army may soon become a thing of the past when other hot spots blow.
I don't blame Bush, though. What's going on in Iraq is the culmination of British and American Imperialism that dates back at least to the fall of the Ottoman Empire--if not to the Manifest Destiny philosophy of the 19th Century.
Like Rome, although less obvious, we veered away from Republicanism into Empire.
