Halfway through the piece, the Anti-war Mom is in character: Simple words, short sentences, and feel-good sentiments:
Casey was three dimensional and had hopes and dreams. He wanted to finish college and teach elementary school. He wanted to marry and have babies. I wanted him to marry and have babies. I wanted to hold his children and spoil them and love them like a grandmother should.
All believably Sheehan, but only four graphs later, she has stopped moving her lips as she types and gone to graduate school. Is this "Cindy" the same person? You decide (emphasis mine):
I am sorry that the leader of our once great nation is so callous towards the people whose lives he has destroyed. If one agrees with President Chavez of Venezuela, or not, it is inherently evident in our country and the world that we should agree with him when he says democracy is not imposed by "bombs and Marines." Democracy rises from the people. Great Britain did not go to war with our forebears to impose democracy, but to stop it.
One writer per piece, luv, and go easy on the drag-and-drop. I'm just here to help.
