And you cast aspersions at Cindy Sheehan, whose son fought and died for this country while Cassius Clay praised the Viet Cong. Even if you disagree with Cindy Sheehan, she has the guts to speak in public against a war that makes no sense.

Wow. That is a lot of ammunition you just unloaded.

Where shall we start?

Why you admire Cindy Sheehan more then Muhammed Ali?

Or why you are wrong regarding the war in Iraq?

Maybe we could start with somthing simple:

Show me a quote or reference where Muhammed Ali "praised the Viet Cong."

"The Viet Cong Never called me no Nigger" does not count, that is damning others, not praising them.

I don't "admire" Cassisu Clay at all; he's lived the high life and paid very little for it while he spat on this country. I respect Cindy Sheehan both for: 1) raising a son who was willing to fight and lose his life for his country and, 2) for having the courage to speak out against a war (and NOT the soldiers fighting it) whose course has proven that we never should have been involved in it in the first place and whose outcome to date has primarily benefitted the neighboring lunatic asylum called Iran.
