A dedication to Cindy...
and for the vigil last night. Excerpt from Sting's song "They Dance Alone". A fitting song and Sting's most beautifully arranged and sung song (and a personal favorite). It was written in dedication to the mothers of the disappeared in Chile during the Pinochet regime. You can insert Bush's name to replace Pinochet.

Hey Mr. Pinochet
you've sowned a bitter crop
It's foreign money that supports you
Someday that money's gonna stop
No wages for your torture
No budget for your guns
You think of your own mother
dancing with her invisible son

Dancing with the missing
Dancing with the dead
They dance with the invisible ones
their anguish is unsaid
Dancing with their fathers
Dancing with their sons
Dancing with their husbands

They dance alone....
They dance alone....

from the CD "Nothing Like the Sun"

Thank you Cindy and A Big Thanks to all Mothers throughout the world and to our soldiers.
