I heart Cindy Sheehan

In her courageous stance, a genius unexpected.

Her vigil ended today due to her mother's stroke. The events around this made me come to a potentially frightening realization.

I think Dubya is mistaking the Devil's work for communion with Jesus Christ.

A scenario...

Bush is kneeling at his bed, praying before hitting the hay. That would make it 7:30 pm local time. He can hear the protesters, but cannot see them. He prays to Jesus...

"Please help me out with this very hard work, this difficult situation.

Satan causes Cindy's mom to stroke.

Dubya: "HALLELUJA!!"

Her attempt to reach the President is like watching Dubya stand in acid. Every moment he ignores her, he is diminished. Her brilliance is that she reflects Dubya's arrogance & stubborness for all the world to see. Like Aikido, where you use your opponent's momentum as a weapon against them. She's everything he pretends to be. Stoic, brave, articulate. And of course, she possesses a moral authority that Dubya can only look up at and admire from afar.

It's a pity that she's not completely correct. I do not agree that we should abondon Iraq. We can't. As bad as things are now, it will definitely be worse if we just walk away. We need significantly better leadership...
