American "democracy" on display
Eli Stephens, Left I on the News
February 1, 2006
The mother of a soldier killed in an ongoing war cannot attend the
State of the Union address as an invited guest of a member of Congress,
wearing the clothing of her choice, without getting arrested.
This is the country that is going to teach Iraq, or Palestine, or Iran, or anyplace in the world, about democracy? Update: Sheehan explains "What Really Happened?" Here's the conclusion: "I
have lost my son. I have lost my First Amendment rights. I have lost
the country that I love. Where did America go? I started crying in pain.
What
did Casey die for? What did the 2244 other brave young Americans die
for? What are tens of thousands of them over there in harm's way for
still? For this? I can't even wear a shirt that has the number of
troops on it that George Bush and his arrogant and ignorant policies
are responsible for killing."
