"It's about the war."

Says Cindy Sheehan in her open memo to so-called right-wing rumor-monger Matt Drudge:

The issue is a disastrous war that's killing our sons and daughters and making our country less secure. They attack me because they can no longer defend this war.

I've come to Crawford to bring to the president's doorstep the harsh realities of a war he's been trying so hard to avoid. But no matter what they say or how many shotguns they fire or how many crosses they destroy, they're not going to stop me from speaking out about a war that needlessly killed my son.

Frankly, what use is there in defending anything when your critics will call the President a terrorist and tell you every inane and utterly implausible reason for going to war.

My Dogs are Smarter than some of these folks.


P.S. RealClearPolitics has a commentary that examines Cindy's new-found friends and their underlying operating assumptions.
