Let's see...what did I mean. I see moral power coming from purity of intent with no other agenda than that intent. Her son went to war because of the threat of WMD. He is killed. There are no WMD. Why did you make him go to war and die, Mr. President? You just wasted the life of my son; you allowed his death to occur for no reason.Why? Powerful position. But Cindy seems to have taken a position of opposition to make Bush "wrong" and therefore she will be "right". I see her as attempting to humiliate Bush. Nothing can come from this. Each side just tries to make the other side wrong. No true moral debate. > > > > > > ------------------------ Yahoo!
