We spoke with Cindy Sheehan last summer... |
|
on the side of the road at Crawford Texas; nice lady. We told her we were praying for her. She said, "I know. I couldn't do this without prayer and God's support."
Gael Murphy was nearby; on hunger strike. Man, she's got big ones (balls that is)...
Can God in heaven please give those of us against the Iraq occupation a sure-fire way to stop it?

1. God can't give us anything |
|
We have to do it ourselves.

7. looks like you are right... |
|
Perhaps that is the whole reason why God allows this damn world keep on spinning...
Each of us is given the opportunity to "make a difference"; or not...

2. I think it will happen |
|
I'm not sure when, but right now we see the whole Bush lie falling apart. This is part of the process that will, God willing, lead to our withdrawal and to peace in that area.
Don't worry about the atheists posting here. They mean well, just have a different take on things. But also realize that there are believers here as well. Welcome to DU! :hi:

4. I met Cindy a couple of times last year and I was moved |
|
at what a spiritual woman she is. the thing that kills me is how all the Christian fundies speak so horribly to a woman who lost her heart when she lost her son Casey. Casey enlisted as a clergyman, did you know that?

6. didn't remember that... |

I do recall Rice flying overheard in her/our helicopter (at $6000 per trip) and black SUVs driving by at 100 mph with windows tinted black... and the HOT sun...
Cindy is Catholic, right?

I'm all for the gods and goddesses granting us a little infinite wisdom.
Although I think we know WHAT to do, its just having the commitment and courage to do it.
