Mother of fallen soldier, Casey Sheehan, Cindy Sheehan is on the move. She and dozens of other relatives of the Iraqi War dead are now driving across the country, stopping in many cities along the way. They are calling it the Bring Them Home Now Tour: From Camp Crawford to Washington D.C.
I haven't heard it yet but I am waiting for the first conservative to scream out some idiocy about how she shouldn't be putting the spotlight on herself right now because we should all be focusing on Hurricane Katrina. Well while I agree that much effort is needed in the relief efforts we are STILL AT WAR and it would be a major mistake to take the heat of the Bush administration. The families of the fallen deserve answers, as do all Americans, as to why these brave men and women died. And until Bush decides to face the music we cannot allow him to blind the country once again to the devistation which is taking place in Iraq every day.
