The Gold Star Children died in vain
They didn't die for the cause of freedom. Their lives were pissed away for nothing; nothing american, nothing just. Their lives were wasted like so much trash, carelessly discarded on the lonesome highway. All those years of effort and preparation were cast into the wind like sand with nothing gained.

These pathetic vampires need need to feed the Gold Star families this drivel because there is an opportunity there - an opportunity to use someone you already fucked for all they had, and take a little more from them - their dignity and their sanity.

This rally is an excercise in mass deception and mass delusion. Hollow are the slogans that they cower behind for comfort "Freedom is on the March". Murderers desparately grasping for cover from the attrocities they have brought us with their false beliefs and failed actions.

2. I think for some people who have lost a child it may be too much
for them to accept that they died in vain. I think they need to hold on to a belief that their loved ones' death meant something.


These people prey on them but I don't fault the ones who lost a loved one. I think their mean caricature of Cindy Sheehan and others in her position is absolutely vile though.

3. They are being exploited.
But some have also molded the thinking of their children to believe this Bush BS. There are some that aren't nearly as politically committed as others.

How many more do they think need to die before they accept the futility of this occupation? What's the magic number before they say enough?

4. I'd like to see a follow up in about
five years to see how they feel. As the pain of their loss subsides, my guess is those who find the courage to examine the truth about this war will turn against the aptly named vampires.
