James Taranto in his "Best of the Web Today" quotes the following from Ms. Sheehan:
Talk about a nut. If America is so terrible then she is a hypocrite for staying. I recommend such paradise destinations as Cuba, China, Iran, or Syria for her relocation. Maybe then this simpleton will realize how well she has it. The most infuriating thing is how hard it is to find any of this information about her from the mainstream media. They are holding her up as a hero to the anti-war Democrat types. I'd say she's a good fit.
I was raised in a country by a public school system that taught us that America was good, that America was just. America has been killing people . . . since we first stepped on this continent, we have been responsible for death and destruction. I passed on that bullshit to my son and my son enlisted. I'm going all over the country telling moms: "This country is not worth dying for." If we're attacked, we would all go out. We'd all take whatever we had. I'd take my rolling pin and I'd beat the attackers over the head with it. But we were not attacked by Iraq. We might not even have been attacked by Osama bin Laden if 9/11 was their Pearl Harbor to get their neo-con agenda through and, if I would have known that before my son was killed, I would have taken him to Canada. I would never have let him go and try and defend this morally repugnant system we have. The people are good, the system is morally repugnant. . . .
What they're saying, too, is like, it's okay for Israel to have nuclear weapons. But Iran or Syria better not get nuclear weapons. It's okay for the United States to have nuclear weapons. It's okay for the countries that we say it's okay for. We are waging a nuclear war in Iraq right now. That country is contaminated. It will be contaminated for practically eternity now. It's okay for them to have them, but Iran or Syria can't have them. It's okay for Israel to occupy Palestine, but it's--yeah--and it's okay for Iraq to occupy--I mean, for the United States to occupy Iraq, but it's not okay for Syria to be in Lebanon.
Talk about a nut. If America is so terrible then she is a hypocrite for staying. I recommend such paradise destinations as Cuba, China, Iran, or Syria for her relocation. Maybe then this simpleton will realize how well she has it. The most infuriating thing is how hard it is to find any of this information about her from the mainstream media.
