And if you are a tech-savvy person who knows how we can avoid this problem in the future, please let me know.

Barbara Cummings just phoned from outside Bush's ranch in Carwford, Texas, to say that she and about 14 others, including Cindy Sheehan, are about to be arrested for trespassing.

So Cindy's trying for another 15 secnds of infamy? Not exactly surprising.

Medal of Honor winner and Conscientious Objector Desmond T. Doss Sr. died recently.

This has nothing to do with her son anymore. It's all about Cindy.

jp: This has nothing to do with her son anymore. It's all about Cindy.

If it makes you feel more comfortable to think that, by all means you are entitled Guess you too want to focus on the good news coming out of Iraq, so some more of our kids get killed while we focus on bird songs. The 'look wild geese' syndrome? BTW- Ever hear of civil disobedience? MLK? Ghandi? Every one must do what they feel is right to stop all the killing. You, I take it, operate from your couch. Brave man.

Unfortunately for my children's future, JustPaul expresses the typical sentiment in America today: "I don't care how many foreigners have to die, just so long as nobody interrupts my ability to do whatever I want," and, "if it doesn't affect me personally and immediately, I don't care."

Cindy Sheehan made her point, whatever it was supposed to be, a long time ago. She is, at this stage, just feeding off her son's sacrifice to gain some more time in the limelight..

She has gone to Texas not only knowing that her actions will get her arrested, but counting on it. It may be a stupid law, but it is the law and she is breaking it only to get herself noticed again. This has nothing to do with her son anymore. It's all about Cindy.

What if it's not all about Cindy herself, but all about her intention to continue making her point until she brings about change? Are you so convinced of your nonsensical notions of what people should and shouldn't do that your brain cannot comprehend that possibility?

And as I pointed out recently, in his affidavit from August 2004, Fitzgerald appears to have believed that Judy only spoke to Libby once on July 12, the three minute conversation while Judy was still in the cab.

Real protestors are ready to demonstrate that they feel strongly enough about their cause that they will pay the price of imprisonment

Now. Tell me why grief for her son means she can break the law?

If you tresspass it is likely that you will be arrested. Now. Tell me why grief for her son means she can break the law?

Everyday you guys make this more and more a liberal version of Free Republic. The only thing it has going for it anymore is the fact that Jeralyn has more class than all of you combined.

Is she going to damage the brush on the Bush ranch?

As it says on many wrists: What Would Jesus Do?

My comment focused on those of you complaining that she will be GASP! arrested for breaking the law. If she does and she is arrested, so what?

Let me assure you that I do not care what the laws outside the US say about a particular issue. I live here.

let me assure you that I don't care why she wants to protest. She is free to do so. She is also free to be arrested for breaking the law.

You probably haven't heard of this before... Freedom....Responsibilty...they go together.

And as I noted to Tampa Student, it is the act of trespass that is in question. Any damages can be brought forth later.

IMHO, I feel sorry for Cindy and her family. There seems to be a difference of opinion between the two. Ms Sheehan is getting more ink with her rather over the top political mourning but her message is wearing thin because of its obvious insincerity. ... The media has already tossed her aside and it is only logical that her handlers will soon do the same. And what will become of Ms Sheehan then?

They've been lied to so often for the past six years

But next time, just post that you agree, instead of making such a song and dance about it.

What is this about? Where is the act "in question"? Can you please respond to what is actually posted?

May I suggest that the next time you want to engage in a battle of wits you try to come armed?

And Roger - Btw, believe it or not, I loath doing that. But, the guy who thinks not enough people died in Vietnam

This Petition [Opposing Attack on Iran] and signatures and comments will be delivered to the White House by many activists, including Cindy Sheehan (italics added):

Jondee - Not unless you want to apologize to the Third Army.. But working with problem kids, although nice, does not equal military duty. Not even close. charlie - And I have no evidence you are not The Dark Avenger in disguise. And your point is?

but being in the military dosnt qualify a person for an a**hole license anymore than not being in the military does.

Roger - He denigrated other peoples service a few times before I said anything

and FORCE I say FORCE those horrible big money grocery stores to get their @*#( carts out of the parking spaces. Let the parties concentrate on IMPORTANT issues for a change.

Actually, Jim, that's just an assertion on your part.

"The history of the American kings of capital and authority is the history of repeated crimes, injustice, oppression, outrage, and abuse, all aiming at the suppression of individual liberties and the exploitation of the people. A vast country, rich enough to supply all her children with all possible comforts, and insure well-being to all, is in the hands of a few, while the nameless millions are at the mercy of ruthless wealth gatherers, unscrupulous lawmakers, and corrupt politicians. Sturdy sons of America are forced to tramp the country in a fruitless search for bread, and many of her daughters are driven into the street, while thousands of tender children are daily sacrificed on the altar of Mammon. The reign of these kings is holding mankind in slavery, perpetuating poverty and disease, maintaining crime and corruption; it is fettering the spirit of liberty, throttling the voice of justice, and degrading and oppressing humanity. It is engaged in continual war and slaughter, devastating the country and destroying the best and finest qualities of man; it nurtures superstition and ignorance, sows prejudice and strife, and turns the human family into a camp of Ishmaelites."

Bush is trying to shore up his base, which is desperately unhappy with the Iraq situation, by rattling sabres at Iran. Bush's poll numbers are so low, often in the mid-30s, that he must have lost part of his base to produce this result. Iran is a great deus ex machina for Bush. Rally around the flag yet again. If this international game of chicken goes wrong, then the whole Middle East and much of Western Europe could go up in flames. The real threat here is not unconventional war, which Iran cannot fight for the foreseeable future. It is the spread of Iraq-style instability to more countries in the region. Bush and Ahmadinejad could be working together toward the Perfect Storm.

United Nations Commission on Disarmament on Tuesday elected Iran as deputy for Asian nations.

The perfect summation of the Iranian approach to negotiations came in this gem of a sentence from the New York Times on July 13 last year:

"Iran will resume uranium enrichment if the European Union does not recognize its right to do so, two Iranian nuclear negotiators said in an interview published Thursday."

Got that? If we don't let Iran go nuclear, they'll go nuclear. That position might tax even the nuanced detecting skills of John Kerry.

The ability to slightly enrich uranium is not the same as the ability to build a bomb. For the latter, you need at least 80% enrichment, which in turn would require about 16,000 small centrifuges hooked up to cascade. Iran does not have 16,000 centrifuges. It seems to have 180. Iran is a good ten years away from having a bomb, and since its leaders, including Supreme Jurisprudent Ali Khamenei, say they do not want an atomic bomb because it is Islamically immoral, you have to wonder if they will ever have a bomb. --More

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we," Bush said. "They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
