MoveOn.org is sponsoring nationwide vigils on Wednesday night in support of Cindy Sheehan's vigil outside of Crawford, Texas.
I'll be at the one at Washington Square in Brookline. Want to know why? I'm not sure I can tell you. I don't have a simple solution to the war we were lied into, and I have no sympathy for the dictator we deposed. But I'm heartsick about an administration so abstracted from reality that our president can't cut short his two-hour bicycle ride or his fund raising to speak with a gold star mom. And I am scared shitless by a powerful nation that thinks it is beholden to nothing but its own ideas...that it, alone in the world, is above the world. So, I'll take a half hour of silence in a public square to think about the course we're on and those who are paying the first price for it.

Cindy proves that
one person's actions can have
a tremendous influence
on the world!
On the other hand,
she has blown all of
our lame excuses not
to do something positive
and meaningful.

Mr. Weinberger,
I do not believe that President Bush lied to the American people. That is my opinion.

I believe that the President has already met and spoken with her once - before she started this protest.

Bryan, that was before the Downing Street Memo and other revelations that Bush knowingly misled the US citizenry about the reasons for invading.
Jonathan, as the vidence mounts, it becomes more and more clear that he inten tionally misled us. Is that telling lies? I suppose it depends on the meaning of the word "is" is....

What ever happened to the days when all Americans stood together as one, against threats to our Nation.
If we would have been as divided as we are now back in the early 1900's we would not be the "UNITED STATES" the Greatest Counrty in the World.
I happen to be proud of our freedom and our Country.
I happen to be one of the few people who respect the office of the President, and think that we should respect the decisions of our Commander and Chief. Republican or Democrat.
