If Casey Sheehan were still alive, would he side with his Mom or...
the pro-war crowd of Mike Gallagher, George W Bush, Rush Limbaugh and the right-wingers? My money would be with his Mom.

1. That's one of the problems with being killed.
You're never able to wonder about having a different perspective on things.

His mom reports that he wasn't in favor of Iraq, but went out of a sense of duty after signing up.

3. Well, let's ask those who knew him best...
His aunts by marraige, his cousins, and his grandma he hardly saw... obviously they know him better than his OWN MOTHER and father.

6. I don't know
but if it were me, and I lost my child to this farce, it wouldn't matter if he agreed with me or not.

Sorry, it just wouldn't.

8. Exactly.
She has information available NOW that wasn't available THEN to make an informed decision that this war is nothing but a boondoggle for Bush, Cheney, Halliburton et al .

10. Is this assuming he would have known what she knows?
How do you make informed decisions without accurate information? Our men and women in uniform aren't exactly well informed in the field.

What with their internet access severely censored and nothing but fox 24/7.

11. Doesn't matter. She is entitled to her own opinion even if it disagrees
with her sons.

12. If he were still alive none of this would be happening.

Would she be doing this if the kid was still alive? No. He wouldn't have to choose sides because there would be no sides.





Edit: skipped a word.
