Military Families In Favor of Imperial War?


Just recently the President made the comment that he did not agree with a
mother (who lost her son in the Iraq war) and her views. He then pointed
towards the fact that other military families don't mind sacrificing their
sons and daughters to a war for profit under the disguise of democracy. It
leaves one to wonder if these families support imperialism or are they
politically naive to the fact that the war policy is premised upon
extracting, owning and profiting on the spoils of the war. Which are they?
Naive or Neo-cons?

So be it, if these families don't mind that their sons and daughters are
being murdered and sacrificed to the War God of Imperialism, while the
ruling class powers behind these wars sit in their ivory towers, eating
popcorn and watching the blood spill as long as its not their blood or their
children.

These counter-protest groups against Cindy Sheehan were organized by the
Bush right wing neo fascist communities who call themselves (The Move
America Forward Movement) and the (You Don't Speak for Me Cindy Sheehan
Camp).

But people who actually use their mind to promote sound reasoning and
judgment would have to ask the question, What do they mean by "move America
forward?" What are they trying to move America forward to achieve when using
this catch phrase? Are they moving America forward to another terrorist
attack? Are they moving America forward to fascism? Is America actually
moving forward because of the war? Or is it moving progressively backwards
into times of aggression, repression, subjugation, fascism and militarism,
that was experienced in Germany? Are they moving forward in the hatred and
genocide of the people in the Middle East? So, what do they mean, when they
say that they are "The Move America Forward Movement" in a caravan to
counter attack a woman who has both a right to dissent and a valid question
to be answered by the President.

No doubt, the president found himself in a "catch 22" by Cindy Sheehan's
convictions, so he quickly consulted with Carl Rove (his brain) to find out
how he could counter this very powerful question posed to him by a
legitimate source. And so, without empathy and compassion he searched out
either blinded or Neocon military families to build an opposition and attack
against a grieving mother who has a right to be angry about this illegal,
immoral, war that is using children from all races and mostly deprived
backgrounds to die the most horrible deaths unnecessarily.

The president is not interested in democracy for the people in Iraq, because
democracy means {a form of government that vests its power in the people)
like Venezuela or Cuba. This is not the case in Iraq and this is not the
case in America. Power is being vesting in the ruling class not the workers
and not the average citizens.

The war policy interest is monetary not geared toward social justice or
democracy. Therefore, the Iraqi oil market is the key reason why the
president is staying and protesting grieving mothers.
And the rise in oil prices are directly connected to our success or failure
in Iraq.

Therefore, Camp Casey Detroit is a symbol of freedom and justice for Cindy
Sheehan and democracy for the community. The president's answer to Cindy
Sheehan is the usual counter maneuver and character attack notorious of the
Bush administration when they find themselves in a "Catch 22".
