My Letter to Cindy Sheehan......
I posted this as a comment on Cindy Sheehans weblog, You can find it at:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/cindy-sheehan/camp-casey-day-18_b_6184.html.This is Arianna Huffington's website, a true liberal bastion ( know thine enemy)
I got there from a link on www.drudgereport.com
Cindy,Your son will not be proud of you when and if you see him when youdie. He will look upon you disdainfully, he will raise and eyebrow.and then I see the conversation going something like this:
Casey:Mom, why would you, my mother?, talk about me the way you have? you say I was used, duped, lied to. Have you ever thought....for one second that I am proud of the fact that I served my country? that I made the ultimate sacrifice. You have dishonored me, my memory, my name and all of my brothers who have fallen, and are still over there doing their country's work.You have taken my honorable and heroic death and used it to push an agenda that I would never sign my name or likeness to. You have cheapened my sacrifice, my name my love of god and country. Let me tell you a secret Mom, You are the one who has been lied to, duped, misled. You are now a mouthpiece for the radicals.I would never expect this type of behavior from someone who loved me.Thats why Dad and the rest of the family have stepped away from you, because they know that I would disapprove of the sacrilege that you have performed upon my memory. You have turned my noble,heroic effort into a 3 ring circus.I cant tell you how distressing it is to see these groups use you the way they have. Are you truly so blinded by the grief of my death that you cannot see this? I want you to stop now, pack up the circus. I did what I was ordered to do, I signed the papers, I raised my hand and took the oath of my country.Why cant you understand that this was my decision Mom? I went into it with my eyes open, when you join the military, war is always looming on the horizon.I dont need you to crusade for me Mom, I need to you to honor my memory, which you are not doing, and love me like you always did.The things you are saying about me now are tantamount to calling me a easily misled automaton. I was not misled, my eyes are wide open.........why cant you open yours now mom?I have a feeling he would then turn and walk away. Why do you dishonor and cheapen your sons sacrifice Cindy?
think about it.
I submitted this to the site three times but for some reason the Libs would not post it, I wonder why :)

I have read that letter you have on your blog refering to Cindy Sheenan , and I have to say that the ones who have been lied or fooled are the ones who are now criticizing that mother whose soon died in Irak . That letter says that C.Sheenan has her eyes closed and is an object of the radicals . In my point of view , the ones who are now in radical's hands are the people who are supporting the war in Irak , a war that costs almost every day an american solider's (or two) life and a dozen of civils . And the only thing that president Bush does is to send more and more soldiers and weapons to that poor country , and delaying the exit of the great majority of the troops there . I know that the obligation of a soldier is to defend his country , but not to be send to die or to cause pain to the others .
Are there many people in your country that criticize a poor mother whose son has died in a criminal war? a problem that had to be solve years ago ? I think that those that are being manipulated are the people who support the war inconditionally without thinking of the pain that is causing all around the world .
Regards from Spain.

Sorry but this peace of the comment has not been published :
We know here in Spain(in less quantity of course ) how is to loose troops in a mission . Those soldiers died doing what they wanted to do with their lifes , in humanitarian missions in the world .
Sorry if my english is bad . Regards from Spain .

I take issue with the fact that Spain was originally a member of the coalition in Iraq. But all it took was one incident and your country turned tale and bowed down to the terrorists, your countrys actions have made you no safer in the longrun. When you have stood up to terrorists instead of running away, then your opinion counts, until then it does not.
As for Ms Sheehan, her intentions may have been pure at the start, but she has used her sons good name to propagate a radical left campaigh. she is wrong in every sense of the word. I stand by my opinion.

You are right saying that , the only one who is suffering now is this poor mother , and that the right of speech must be always the most important.
And I would like to answer to a part of the fisrt reply .I must to say that I have heard about this issue in the press , but I don't know how the problem has become importantly for the american press (I mean , I don't konw if the press has been oportunist or someone has discovered the formula of Coca-Cola (expression) with this issue , and has manipulated it for his profit) . But I have to tell you that U.S.A is NOT the ONLY country that had suffered from terrorism , and I mean Al-qaeda's one or other tipe (remember ETA GRAPO , TERRA LLIURE and a lot of terrorist groups (nowadays , thank God, only one)that made terrorists acts here , and nowadays ETA with his typical campaign of extortion to people with different political thought or bussinessmen , street wars every week , burning cars and putting bombs... and Thank God that the group has been without killing anyone almost two years ... And this panorama for almost 50 years... and this government has NEVER bowed down to the terrorists (the ones who outrage every month...),and now the goverment of Spain has made back very much that terrorist group and the future is very encouraging for peace...
Returning to Irak issue:
Let me one question ... Does this political attitude (USA one) protect all the world as Washington says ? (Egypt , London , Madrid , Beslan...)
One more thing ... the retirement of Spanish troops in Irak was in order to a political promise made from PSOE (I have to say that I did not agree with this decision , because once the pain is made in a place , the forces of reconstruction must help the poor people and not go away) . And when you said above "one incident" ... are you refering to 11-M ?
Very satisfied to be able to discuss this topic with people from other countries . Regards from Spain.

Heres a point by point dissection of the letter that mr moore wrote. It was written by a 16 year old girl. hope you like
Dear Mr. Bush:
Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking lot. Man, was that a drag. *Oh we're in a war Michael, they were just chillin...I mean we all know YOU want them to come home, but I just don't think thats what they wanted to do*
Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers are? We could really use them right now for the type of thing they signed up to do like helping with national disasters. How come they weren't there to begin with? *"To begin with" as in...When the hurricane hit? Yeah, I guess what we really need right now is a bunch of our National Guards to be trapped in attics or to be dead bodies floating on Bourbon street.*
Last Thursday I was in south Florida and sat outside while the eye of Hurricane Katrina passed over my head. It was only a Category 1 then but it was pretty nasty. Eleven people died and, as of today, there were still homes without power. That night the weatherman said this storm was on its way to New Orleans. That was Thursday! Did anybody tell you? I know you didn't want to interrupt your vacation and I know how you don't like to get bad news. Plus, you had fundraisers to go to and mothers of dead soldiers to ignore and smear. You sure showed her! *So what are you doing now my dear Michael? Sitting on you kiester complaining about the leader of your country, when maybe you could be using all your money from your propaganda fund to buy the people of Lousiana some effin bottled water*
I especially like how, the day after the hurricane, instead of flying to Louisiana, you flew to San Diego to party with your business peeps. Don't let people criticize you for this -- after all, the hurricane was over and what the heck could you do, put your finger in the dike? *Well I especially like how you have to make ridiculous remarks to get the immature to side with you. Cute idea!*
And don't listen to those who, in the coming days, will reveal how you specifically reduced the Army Corps of Engineers' budget for New Orleans this summer for the third year in a row. You just tell them that even if you hadn't cut the money to fix those levees, there weren't going to be any Army engineers to fix them anyway because you had a much more important construction job for them -- BUILDING DEMOCRACY IN IRAQ! *Ugh what an awful idea huh? Democracy? What the...It's ok if you don't get it Michael, it's not like your an American like the rest of us. You have super powers...unlike the President who couldn't have known there would be a Hurricane hitting Louisiana. You knew, I know you did...'keep it on the dl', that's your motto ay?!*
On Day 3, when you finally left your vacation home, I have to say I was moved by how you had your Air Force One pilot descend from the clouds as you flew over New Orleans so you could catch a quick look of the disaster. Hey, I know you couldn't stop and grab a bullhorn and stand on some rubble and act like a commander in chief. Been there done that. *Dude, what's he gonna do? Land Air Force One in 8 feet of water, get out with his 20 secret service agents, give a motivational speech and let the people of Louisiana know everything will be ok? I'm sure that's exactly what they all need to spend there time on right now. I'm sure that's just what they want. Sometimes when cops are getting shot by looters, it's just not the place for a President, that's all Michael. We're sure you understand...oh wait...*
There will be those who will try to politicize this tragedy and try to use it against you. Just have your people keep pointing that out. Respond to nothing. Even those pesky scientists who predicted this would happen because the water in the Gulf of Mexico is getting hotter and hotter making a storm like this inevitable. Ignore them and all their global warming Chicken Littles. There is nothing unusual about a hurricane that was so wide it would be like having one F-4 tornado that stretched from New York to Cleveland. *Everyone knows the entire state should have been evacuated, yeah. That would OBVIOUSLY be the logical thing to do. We just want to kill unsuspecting American citizens. That's what George Dub. is all about silly! We're just disappointed that our estimates of deaths weren't met. Guess you can't win um all! *spit, puke, punch the wall* *
No, Mr. Bush, you just stay the course. It's not your fault that 30 percent of New Orleans lives in poverty or that tens of thousands had no transportation to get out of town. C'mon, they're black! I mean, it's not like this happened to Kennebunkport. Can you imagine leaving white people on their roofs for five days? Don't make me laugh! Race has nothing -- NOTHING -- to do with this! *Good observation, it doesn't. Lousiana got OWNED by a hurricane. A VERY GOOD chunk of its population is black. Get over it, that's just what happened. George didn't send it any particular place, God did. You know, God?...um, have you two met?*
You hang in there, Mr. Bush. Just try to find a few of our Army helicopters and send them there. Pretend the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast are near Tikrit. *And YOU pretend to know how to run a country and solve all of it's problems (natural disasters and the like).*
Yours,
Michael Moore

P.S. That annoying mother, Cindy Sheehan, is no longer at your ranch. She and dozens of other relatives of the Iraqi War dead are now driving across the country, stopping in many cities along the way. Maybe you can catch up with them before they get to DC on September 21st *Wait a tick...people DIE in wars? No, that can't be. Why didn't anybody TELL them?!?!*
What a dork...

that was not my word, that was the word of the 16 year old girl who wrote those responses, which I feel are very informed and make perfect sense.
I myself think michael moore is an extreme dumbass.
