Who Is that Masked Woman?

I am a War Baby.

My father served thirty-one and a half years in the United States Air Force. He was not in combat, but was the Director of Communications for the South Atlantic corridor during World War II. We had many conversations about the war.

That war was waged on two fronts, the Western or European and the Eastern or Japanese. The stupid, but charismatic little dictator in Germany wanted to rid the world of Jews and ultimately of anyone who was not a white Arian. The Emperor of Japan wanted to destroy the United States, assimilate our economy and to reign over the whole world.

Hitler murdered people, majoring on Jews. He gassed them, used them in medical experiments and executed them in public. Hitler NEVER attacked the United States. He did attack our allies.

Under no little protest in our country, we entered the war against Germany and its allies.

The Japanese DID attack us directly. They bombed our men, women, ships and facilities at Pearle Harbor. When they captured Americans and held them as prisoners, they tortured them, used them in medical experiments and otherwise desecrated their humanity.

My father lost many friends who were in combat. He also lost brothers and a brother-in-law. Every one of them had a mother. Those mothers who were alive at the time mourned their deaths. But almost NONE of them assailed the United States government. If they did, the media did not report it, let alone focus on it.

There are remarkable similarities between our involvement in World War II and our involvement in Afganistan and Iraq.

Saddam did not attack us. He did attack our vital interests in Quait and he trained many who then did attack us, under the leadership of Osama.

We are now at war with the radical Muslims in Iraq who would like to be a part of another attack on the United States of America. We have kept them off balance enough that they have, so far, been unable to mount that attack.

The best they could do is to have bombed transportation interests in Great Brittain. That's bad enough, but we have not had to bear the brunt of those insidious atrocities ourselves, thanks to the resolve of President Bush and the dedication of the young men and women of our military.

In addition, we have enabled the Iraqi people to have a hope of establishing a country in which they can experience the freedom that is in the bosom of every living soul.

Now steps forward this protestor, Cindy Sheehan, who "wants an audience with President Bush." Actually, she wants ANOTHER audience with him. Her justification is supposedly that she lost a son in a war she does not support.

Well, la-dee-dah!

I am sorry for any parent who loses a family member in war. I am sorry that she lost a son in the war. He was very special. He loved this country and thought it fitting to engage in an activity that put his life on the line. He paid the "ultimate sacrifice."

But she is NOT special.

Along with criticizing the Bush Administration and the War in Iraq, Sheehan has been vocal in her attacks on foreign policy. In a letter, written on March 15, 2005, Sheehan claims that her son died, "for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel." Sheehan further comments that her son joined the armed forces to "protect America, not Israel." Where did that come from? Sheehan has also said that in order to stop terrorism, "You get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine and you'll stop the terrorism." (Taken from Wikipedia.com)

WRONG, Ms. Sheehan. They are not interested in stopping for any reason. Their own avowed agenda is to wipe out the West and its "infidels."

The media treats her like she is a patriot on the order of Patrick Henry or Paul Revere. In fact, she is a traitor.

Look at her history. Look at the organizations to which she belongs. Look at her behavior. Listen to her words.

If she is to be believed, she hates this country and what it has historically stood for. If she does not hate this country, then she is not to be believed. Either way, she is a BAD ACT! She hides behind a mask of concern, but she is really a kind of insurgent.

The willing media loves her. They focus on her. They give her air time. They "explain her postition, so we'll better understand her."

Why? Because they are poured out of the same mold.

I call on the media of this country to leave her alone! Stop glorifying her. You want to give credit to someone, give credit to her son.

By giving her so much press, you are demoralizing our troops and are participating in traitorous activity.

(As I sit here posting, I am watching yet ANOTHER report on this reprobate. And they are trying to make HER look good. They gave her and her "cause" almost two minutes of focus, while giving her detractors only about 31 seconds. In media that is a HUGE difference.)

I have yet to see you focus on the THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of relatives who have lost sons and daughters in this war and are PROUD of the sacrifice they made for their country.

Since there are more of them than there are of Cindy Sheehan's ilk, why can't you give them MORE air time than you give her? That would be fair.

Maybe I just answered my own question.
