She makes me sick.

Linda, you're right. This is all about her.

OPEN LETTER TO CINDY SHEEHAN:
Residing in the same town as you once resided and knowing your family, I must ask you, "Whatever are you thinking?"
Your son was the one who encouraged my youngest son to enlist. You were very proud of Casey and what he was doing then and he believed very much in what he was doing.
After Casey was killed, my eldest was one of the local airmen who brought him home, facing hostile fire to do so, so you would not not have to wait.
My daughter comforted you and your family. You two spent hours and hours engaged in heartfelt grief. At that time, you were very, very supportive of the President, of our soldiers and of what was occurring in Iraq.
Cindy, you've changed since the Kerry campaign contacted you in early July of last summer. You're not the same grieving mom, especially after you started traveling on the road to support John Kerry's campaign.
You've turned into a political puppet for those who are exploiting you and its not pretty nor does it do anything for Casey's memory. You're not the same, quiet compassionate woman we saw at church or downtown, when you proudly sat as the entire town showed up on Memorial Day to honor Casey and Mike Williams.
How can you justify berating the President for honoring the soldiers who died while protecting America and following the directives of the Congress and the Senate? How can you consistently state that you don't want your son's name to be acknowledged by him and on the same hand, turn around and use the name of Joe Williams' Mike, as an example for your cause despite the many requests of the family for you not to do so? How could you print Mike's name in your anti-war advertisement in the newspaper even after seeing the grief and effort his mother went through to go to Crawford to personally remove it from your cross. You knew it caused them pain.
Mike died honorably and his father, a Vietnam vet is very proud of him. He believed in what he was doing, just like Casey. How could you bring so much pain to the Williams family and so much pain to a nation because of your own anger?
Cindy, how can you do this to your kids who don't know how to explain your actions to anyone here in town? They went through a lot last summer and still are.
The hours, days and weeks following Casey's death were emotionally gut wrenching as many of us with children, husbands, wives, friends and other loved ones in the military comforted you while living with the fears for our own loved ones over there. Everyone went above and beyond because we all believed and still believe in how very right, honorable and courageous our loved ones are in their mission to keep America safe.
We all went through considerable anguish when Casey died and I suspect none moreso than you. But how can you justify your anguish and place it on a higher level than that of Joe Williams?
The treatment you've returned to everyone is inexcusable. Placing Mike Williams' name on a cross despite the family's objections was unforgiveable and the reaction of Mike's mother when she saw it was heartbreaking.
What you are doing to neighbors, to friends, Casey's battle buddies and to a nation of people who are having to relieve the ugly pain of the late 60s and the 70s is unfair.
This is about you, Cindy. Not about anyone else. When you turn your back on your neighbors, your friends, your family and act in this manner, it only evidences that there is no consideration toward anyone or anything else.
Finally, and most disturbing, how can you support a group that supported John Kerry, who on April 7th, on National Public Radio stated that Al Sadr had a "legitimate voice" and that the Coalition (including your son) should not have closed down his newspaper after he called for the deaths of U.S. troops.
You know better than anyone else, Casey was killed in Sadr City by the Al Sadr militants. How can you join ranks with those who support the terrorist who called for the death of your son?
Its beyond me, Cindy, and something I suspect, someday in the future, you'll look back on and with considerable pain.
We don't want that for you. I believe you need to sit down and think about it long and hard. You are bringing so much pain to this nation and its people.
Linda
I don't think that's cruel, Republic. She's GOT to hit rock bottom before she can look up.
No apology necessary!
see 115 and 117
She almost reminds me of the Kathy Bates character in the movie "Misery." A crazy, obsessed monster who talks herself into and justifies taking the most horrible actions.
Thank God for the Secret Service to protect administration folks from this nut in the event she takes it to the next level and attempts something really insane.
This is a great letter, but I don't believe it will have an impact on Cindy Sheehan. She is a poster child for narcissistic personality disorder, exhibiting all the textbook characteristics.
And, from an old retired soldier, thank you for the service of your sons.
We're on the same page.
Great post.
Actually, the Noble Cause is a world in which a madman, mass-murdering dictator can no longer rape, murder and lead to death literally millions of innocent men, women and children, while simultaneously defying the entire rest of the world (including the impotent UN) and researching and developing weapons of mass destruction (including both nuclear and biological weapons) for the unprovoked "humbling" of our country (read: destruction of potentially millions of OUR innocent citizens) -- without being called to account and removed from power.
The Noble Cause is a world in which the Middle East possesses a model democracy, one that demonstrates that democracy can work in an Arab Muslim state, and one that is not an enemy to us and our children, instead of being a fertile breeding ground for those who would come and destroy our cities, and turn many, many places in our own dear country into Manhattan on 9/11.
THAT's the noble cause, and Cindy does everything in her power to obstruct it.
Which makes her, in fact, a damnable traitor not only to our nation, not only to everything that is good, but also to everything that her son and his fellows have fought and died for.

Thank you so very much for writing this, and for posting it here. I can only hope you are able to share this with those who are currently supporting Ms. Sheehan and holding her so high, high over those who have sacrificed everything for all of us here at home.
I hope your friend reads this, and listens. You may be all she has left.
God Bless you, your family and your two soldiers.
Thanks for sharing this letter. God bless you.
I was thinking the same thing. I really believe she is capable of killing someone.
The truth will set Cindy free. Too bad she is so far from the truth right now.
And from the heart of the open letter that began this thread, it sounds like cindi is not only a traitor to her country, as you mentioned, but she has BETRAYED her son, the one she says she grieves.
God bless you Linda and your hero son!
As for cindy anyone who doesn't believe their country isn't worth dying for is a despicable human being to me. She should go over to the other side and join their forces. As it is she is a hypocrite. She knows she could not do such a thing in the other country. She is a disgrace and has dishonored the memory of her son. How shameless she is. I feel very sorry for her other children. Her husband we understand served her divorce papers. Can certainly understand that. Her poor children. How awful this must be for them and...they will NEVER forget it. NEVER.

Linda, you're right. This is all about her.
Personally I think she has been invaded by evil spirits. I caught a glimpse of her today during the arrest and I actually felt that she was under the influence of "I don't know what"... she is dangerously close to suicide as someone else posted..to the point that I will stop making fun of her.
I'm not kidding. I pray for her.
My only question is why do so many people here write about this idiot and spend so much time on her? Why are so many consumed with this person? It's just like some of the media is doing.
Sheesh!
