This lady, Cindy Sheehan, speaks the truth. We desperately need more like her!
Salam and thank you Cindy… your courage is much appreciated by the tens of milions of Arab citizens who remain silent not speaking out against this criminal war, out of fear of imprisonment. The Arab streets are silent out of fear, not out of indifference. We thank you for your courage.
Cindy Lee Miller Sheehan, your name will live in history as a true blue American. I’m hoping at least a stamp or maybe a coin in your honor. Keep up the good fight sister.
