Bravo. How seldom we recall that Jesus fiercely challenged the leaders of his nation when their calls to patriotic obedience resulted in hard-hearted destructive behavior toward others. Cindy Sheehan is in that tradition.

It's absurd to call her an "attention whore", when politicians spend millions to make their names known to the voters. Stardom is the name of the game in the US. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_carol_wo_070530_attention_whore_3f.htm"><P>The struggle between those of us who want a decent future for our children, and those who care only about getting theirs now, before the sh-t hits the fan, is intensifying as the planet heats up, literally and spiritually.

We need leaders.<FONT face="Times New Roman"> </FONT></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_carol_wo_070530_attention_whore_3f.htm"><P>Yes, we want attention.
