Yeah. Maybe her buddies at Code Pink had something to do with it, huh?
When I started reading about Ms. Sheehan in the news, beginning fairly
recently, I thought she was a bereaved mother who'd gone crazy with grief.
Now I'm not so sure.

But anyway, she has the right to scream, yell, camp out and make demands.
She's a lucky woman - in some countries, she wouldn't be able to do it.

But I don't expect the Pres to accede to her demands, necessarily. If
somebody camped out near my house, demanding a meeting with me so they could
scream and yell and accuse me of killing their son and all that other stuff
she's been spouting, I wouldn't want to talk to 'em because there'd be no
real point. There's nothing to solve, she sounds impossible to pacify - I'd
just be setting myself up for a shitload of unpleasantness with no
resolution.

I dunno if Bush feels that way, but I wouldn't think less of him if he did.

AFAIK, there's nothing written in stone that says there can be only one
reason to go to war. I recall several reasons from the Pres's address on
the eve of this war.

Reasons, not "explanations."

I think the Saudis are going to sort themselves out, without our military
involvement.
