"Peace Mom" and those "Meddling" Americans
Cindy Sheehan, fresh off her "Great" book turnout at the Crawford ranch, is now in Venezuela helping glorify the leftist president Hugo Chavez. Sheehan calls for the end of the Iraq war and for the U.S. to stop quote, "meddling," in foreign affairs. Sheehan, along with 10,000 others made the trek to Venezuela to protest the war and launch the World Social Forum.
It seems to me like Cindy Sheehan is such a diplomat nowadays. After all, she wanted to speak with President Bush (which never happened) and now she supports a leftist president in South America and is protesting the war in Iraq from there. The reason why she went to South America with her 10,000 liberal friends to protest the war is because she can't do it in America anymore. Americans are sick and tired of her and her liberal ideals. A grieving mother deserves her opinion on the war but she must realize that her son went over there because he wanted to. Many of the young men and women in Iraq volunteered to go over to Iraq to fight terrorism. Sheehan decision to go to Venezuela demonstrates that she is not just campaigning to end the war in Iraq but wants to have an influence on every foreign affair. Sheehan has gone to far in my opinion by supporting Chavez. Chavez allies himself with Castro and communist Cuba, where democracy and freedoms that we have don't even exists. Sheehan also called for America to stop "meddling" in foreign affairs. The U.S. has become the police of the world and it is too late to stop now. America is the last superpower in the world and so it is our obligation to be in foreign affairs. America had no need to be in Serbia in the 1990s but because of the genocide we stepped in and stopped a ruthless dictator. America is going to be "meddling" in foreign affairs and continue doing so until the end of time whether Cindy likes it or not. It is time for Sheehan to just get out of politics before she gets herself in trouble but it may be too late.

Yes, many of the men and women "wanted" to go to Iraq because they are from rural areas and had no other option but to enroll in the military, they are targeted by recruiters because they are poor and have no other way to get by, especially in a society where higher education is becomming increasingly expensive and unattainable for those in poor, rural areas. 18 year olds, who aren't even allowed to make their own decisions about drinking alcohol, and supposed to be responsible enough to decide whether or not they support a war which has been held together with right wing, McCarthy era ideologies of "freedom" and "liberty."
Hugo Chaves was elected democratically because he is committed to giving the country of Venezuela back to the people. A shift towards Socialism is hard, there are bound to be problems, but that doesn't mean that just because it isn't capitalism that it is bad.
most of your arguments on the website are ignorant and one-sided. you're only defense against liberals is that everything they do or say is simply to counter conservatism, while ignoring the fact that liberals deep down are more concerned about the equality and wellbeing of HUMANITY. Take some sociology courses and get a life, man. You obviously don't even know what you're talking about.
