This post made me mad. Anonymous people have been protesting this war since the beginning--before that, in fact. Now, Victoria Loe Hicks states her disdain for Cindy Sheehan, but says the country needs more anonymous Americans "expressing their convictions." GOOD GOD!! What does she think we've been doing all this time? The media won't cover "anonymous Americans." They demand a "face," and now that we have Cindy Sheehan to bring attention to our cause, they don't like it! Damn, I hate the Dallas Morning News. Anyway, here's the comment--feel free to answer her at the email posted below. *** War protests Much as I hate and oppose the war, Cindy Sheehan's me-me-me approach leaves me a little queasy. But the photos of the vigils in this morning's paper are an entirely different matter. That's what this country needs more of: numbers of anonymous Americans, peacefully expressing their convictions.
So, I guess I've got to hand it to Ms. Sheehan: She's accomplished something worthwhile.
