Political Stuff

Cindy Sheehan (the woman camped at George W. Bush's ranch) speaks for herself:

"This is George Bush's accountability moment. That's why I'm here. The mainstream media aren't holding him accountable. Neither is Congress. So I'm not leaving Crawford until he's held accountable. It's ironic, given the attacks leveled at me recently, how some in the media are so quick to scrutinize -- and distort -- the words and actions of a grieving mother but not the words and actions of the president of the United States."

Strong stuff.

In an effort to not make my site a political one- because, although I am very much political, I do not like to outright "choose sides" online when people RIGHT NOW are dying- I don't want to add my opinion to the events of the world. But someone mentioned something to me the other day and I found it very interesting:

"I am not a supporter of Bush, but the US HAD to vote him in for the second term. Kerry, if he had won, would have pulled (the troops) out immediately. This would have meant death for any US supporters still in Iraq (foreign and Iraqis) and everything would have gone back to the way it was before. It would have made the lives already sacrificed a waste. People realised this and probably decided, since we started it we should finish it."

Allow the President to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so, whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose -- and you allow him to make war at pleasure. - Abraham Lincoln
