Cindy Sheehan is right

I am appalled at the recent arrest of Cindy Sheehan. This woman made the ultimate sacrifice that a mother could make. She sent her son to a war that took his life, and it changed her and her family's lives forever.

How do we thank her for her sacrifice- We arrest her when she outwardly and defiantly opposes the war in Iraq. The only thing she wanted from her "leaders" is that they be accountable for the lives of so many young men and women lost in this so-called war on terrorism.

She is demanding the impeachment of Bush and Cheney, and I, for one, support her efforts 100 percent.

We all know why we're fighting a war and it's not because of WMDs or oppressive governments. If that were the case, we'd be fighting ourselves. Wake up.

All of our "leaders" are corrupt. If I remember my history lessons, this is the main reason why the Roman Empire fell.

The American people are sick and tired of being lied to, being kept in the dark about issues that directly affect our lives and allowing these idiots in Washington to continue their illegal and immoral lifestyles.

Each and every time something dirty and dark is uncovered in Washington, our threat level increases.

Bush and Cheney were NOT elected. They stole the oval office and were given permission by us, the American people, to continue their dirty dealings in Washington. I am afraid for my children's futures. This so-called democratic republic we live in is nothing but fertile ground for the politicians to continue their greed.

They are nothing more than dressed up gangsters playing God. I implore anyone who has any sense of decency to demand the impeachment and imprisonment of Bush and his cavemen. Let's stop them from murdering any more of our decent men and women.
