Brain-dead comment:

Of the 20 deserters standing on the stage with her, Sheehan said, "They're moral human beings who don't want to go to Iraq and kill innocent people to line the pockets of George Bush and the war machine."

No, Cindy, they are cowards. For the rest of us, the men and women in uniform who are defending our country (the nation you call "a fascist state" and say "isn't worth dying for"), are heroes and patriots. Your son went with his unit to Iraq because he knew his brothers-in-arms depended on him. HE was a hero. The deserters on whom you lavish so much praise and affection are scum. Unlike Casey, the broke their pledge to America and betrayed their comrades. The shirts they wear say "AWOL", but they are not Absent Without Official Leave. They are DESERTERS seeking asylum in a foreign country. You are a seditious, traitorous Moonbat, standing on Canadian soil, trying to tell that nation what to do, while encouraging desertion from the ranks of America's armed forces.

You are betraying every value that you say Casey Sheehan believed in. How proud he must be of his mother now.
