Cindy Sheehan: Still Missing the Point

"What the Peace Movement fails to collate into their arguments is the fact of the blatant silver cord running through every bloody conflict that has ever befallen man; underpinning the killing fields from Chalons to Hastings, Waterloo to Gettysburg, and from the Somme to Stalingrad has been a common denominator. The men and women who bled the ground red at these places, along with the men, women, and children who sweated to outfit the war machines with the necessary implements of bodily injury, all fought and labored underneath banners of colored cloth: the flags of ?nations,? statesmen, and tyrants." Column by Thomas Van Wyk.
