Cindy Sheehan: Bush Tainted Flag

Cindy Sheehan is one brave woman.

Riding in a red, white and blue bus emblazoned with the words "Impeachment Tour" she showed up at Bush's Texas ranch on Saturday asking to talk to him so he could tell her what "the noble cause" was, for which her son died in Iraq.

The fact is, the United States was founded on the idea of having a noble destiny. Unfortunately, that idea has turned into an arrogant superiority that says anything we do - no matter how destructive - is part of that noble cause.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Just as you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear, you can't make the invasion of Iraq into a noble act, no matter how hard you try.

And the Administration has certainly been trying with obfuscation, but as this war rages on it will become clearer and clearer just what a mistake - and a crime against the world - it is.

The war in Iraq has killed over a hundred thousand Iraqis, over 1800 of our troops and left nearly fifty thousand of our sons and daughters severely disabled.

The war in Iraq has threatened world stability and given terrorists a breeding ground.

Some noble cause for a son to die for.

Sheehan's analysis of how George Bush has tainted our flag with the blood of innocents is profound.
