A Love Letter To Cindy Sheehan- Update One.
Dear Ms. Sheehan,
I can imagine you must be getting hundreds, if not thousands of emails and messages by now, from both sides. I hope the ones in support so far out number the negative ones. I also hope it stays that way, but I'm afraid it won't. After their initial confusion and surprise, the Reds are mobilizing. You threw them at first, they weren't ready for you. Then they thought they could just dismiss you as a Leftist Crazy, but that didn't work either. Now, they're going to come after you with everything and anything they can think of.

It's nice to hear that George W. Bush grieves with you. It's also nice that he finally knows your son Casey's name; I'll bet he won't forget it anytime soon either. After his initial days of silence hoping you'd just go away, then his peoples threats to have you arrested if you didn't stop bullying the poor man and leave him alone, after making you crawl through ditches in the blistering heat and sit soaking in the rain, he was forced to acknowledge your presence. That's a loss for him right there, and one that I hope will cause him some grief as well.

It's an interesting position you're in. This thing, at this point at least, won't be over until you say it's over. and that's both the strength and the danger for you. Since they now know they can't ignore you, arrest you or placate you, they have to get you some other way. Are you ready for the character assassination phase? The fact that you were called to meet with George Bush just after Casey was killed and chose to be decorous at that meeting is being portrayed as you first supporting him, then, becoming one of the dreaded "flip-floppers" ala' John Kerry. Now you're someone with an "AGENDA".

It's something they do well, this flip-flop thing. It's an Administration that prides itself on never changing it's mind, never adapting to the ebb and flow of either politics or war. They've taken a serious character flaw and somehow turned it into an asset in the minds of half the nation. It allows them sit back, nod sagely and say, "Good. Everything's falling apart on schedule." just as if they planned it that way. For my part, I love to see people change their minds, acknowledge their mistakes, then try to do better.
