The Sheehan Terrorist/Murder Appeasers
By R J Rummel (08/21/05)
I had almost finished the blog for the day when I got an email that I must pass on. The Cindy Sheehan demonstrations must be answered in some way. Although the email is to late to do this as it suggests, there are other things you can do, as the email suggests. What we have here is the left wing of the Democrat Party at work to demean and defame the War on Terrorism, the Bush Administration, and America.
It is similar in rhetoric to the anti-Vietnam War demonstrations in the ignorance of its troops, and the self-righteous assurance of its far left/communist leaders. It is fueled by hatred of Bush and the United States (when Sheehan says she does not believe the United States is worth fighting for, she is no longer the exploited, but a leader of this effort.), and the consequences of these anti-democratic demonstrations would be the same as happened in Vietnam. Our retreat from Iraq, the victory of the terrorists, would mean a civil war and the intervention of Syria and Iran (The U.S. would no longer have the credibility to give them pause) against the struggling Iraqi government, the terrorists would win. And as happened in South Vietnam, there would be massive executions and arrests, torture and death. How many? Given the number of Iraqis that have become associated in one way or another with the American effort, probably hundreds of thousands and maybe a million is possible (the Shiites in the South would again have to be massacred). And then another Hussein-like tyranny, and the defeat of the idea of democracy in the Middle East, perhaps for decades.
But don't the Sheehan demonstrators know this? As noted, there are the ignorant troops, almost fervently religious in their hand-me-down slogans, including many in the media. But, their organizers and leaders know what they are doing, but don't care about the consequences. Its getting Bush and the United States that matters, and for some, such as for the moveon.org people, it's a matter of winning the 08 election. They don't care about what will happen to Iraqis if they succeed. In that sense, they will have the blood of the many that will be killed on their hands.
Now, the left's "antiwar" demonstrators against the Vietnam War do have the blood of a millions on their hands (Cambodia, Laos, South Vietnam --the Boat People). The Sheehan demonstrators would have the blood of perhaps a million Iraqis on their hands if successful -- a conditional -- and the denial of freedom to these poor people. Given that the leaders, including Sheehan, ignore this (what is one to say of a mother that so exploits the death of her son who died heroically, and whose family released a statement saying Cindy "now appears to be promoting her own personal agenda and notoriety at the expense of her son's good name and reputation"), I will call them all terrorist-appeasers and mass murder propagators, for that is what they are doing.
Here is the email message I mentioned:
