Titolo: Un discorso di Cindy Sheehan

Cindy Sheehan (Military Families Speak Out; Goldstar Families for Peace; 
her son Casey was killed in the Iraq War)
First, I want to give my little story about Lynne. Of course, you all 
have read To Kill a Mockingbird. Lynne is my human Atticus Finch. He did 
what he knew was right, but wasn’t popular. And that’s what Lynne is 
doing. {applause}
We are not waging a war on terror in this country. We’re waging a war of 
terror. The biggest terrorist in the world is George W. Bush. {applause}
How many more people are we going to let him kill before we stop him? 
I’m going to talk about free speech and recruitment. Do you know that it 
costs $66,000 to recruit one recruit? That’s continuing all of their – 
you know, the recruiter’s salary, the recruiter’s bonus, the place that 
they rent to recruit and things like that. All the perks they get and 
everything. That’s not even training the recruit. It costs our 
government about $6,000 a year on each child in California. $46,000 a 
year to house a prisoner in our state. Our priorities are seriously 
screwed up, as I mentioned.
I really want to thank you guys for doing this, especially the young 
people. It gives me so much hope to know that there’s young people who 
care more about who’s our next American Idol – less about that. You guys 
care more about people being killed. There’s too many that care more 
about the next American Idol. Too many people in our country that don’t 
even really know we have a war going on. You know, they never have to 
think of the war, and I’ll never, ever forget this war. I can never 
forget it, even when I’m sleeping {tears} I know that we’re in a war and 
I know that George Bush and his band of neo-cons and their neo-con 
agenda killed my son. And I’ll never, ever, ever forget.
I take responsibility partly for my son’s death, too. I was raised in a 
country by a public school system that taught us that America was good, 
that America was just. America has been killing people, like my sister 
over here says, since we first stepped on this continent, we have been 
responsible for death and destruction. I passed on that bullshit to my 
son and my son enlisted. I’m going all over the country telling moms: 
“This country is not worth dying for. If we’re attacked, we would all go 
out. We’d all take whatever we had. I’d take my rolling pin and I’d beat 
the attackers over the head with it. But we were not attacked by Iraq. 
{applause} We might not even have been attacked by Osama bin Laden if 
{applause}. 9/11 was their Pearl Harbor to get their neo-con agenda 
through and, if I would have known that before my son was killed, I 
would have taken him to Canada. I would never have let him go and try 
and defend this morally repugnant system we have. The people are good, 
the system is morally repugnant. {applause}
Please – teach your babies, teach your babies better than I taught my 
babies. When Congress gave George Bush the right to go to war, they 
abrogated their constitutional responsibilities and they basically made 
our constitution null and void. We have no checks and balances in this 
country. We have no recourse. If they’re going to what they did to 
Lynne, they don’t have backs they call names, what we need to be is, we 
the people, we’re their checks and balances. We’re the only checks and 
balances. We have to stand up and say, Not only is this our school, this 
is our country. We want our country back and, if we have to impeach 
everybody from George Bush down to the person who picks up dog shit in 
Washington, we will impeach all those people. Our country needs to 
{unintelligible} we need to start over again.
I just want to say that you students, Students Against War, you have all 
my support and all my organization’s support. I told Kristen if you have 
any actions and you need a ringleader, that I only live about an hour 
away. I’ll be here. If I can sleep on somebody’s floor, we can have 
this, we can camp out, do whatever we need.
And I just want to way to George Bush and I want to say to the people 
who are here, that are still sheep {unintelligible} and following him 
blindly: if George Bush believes his rhetoric and his bullshit, that 
this is a war for freedom and democracy, that he is spreading freedom 
and democracy, does he think every person he kills makes Iraq more free? 
It doesn’t make us more free. It damages our humanity. The whole world 
is damaged. Our humanity is damaged. If he thinks that it’s so important 
for Iraq to have a U.S.-imposed sense of freedom and democracy, then he 
needs to sign up his two little party-animal girls. They need to go this 
war. They need to fight because a just war, the definition of a just 
war, and maybe you people here who still think this is a just war, the 
definition of a just war is one that you would send your own children to 
die in. That you would go die in yourself. And you aren’t willing to 
send your own children, or if you’re not willing to go die yourself, 
then you bring there rest of our kids home now. It is despicable what 
they’re doing. {applause}
What they’re saying, too, is like, it’s okay for Israel to have nuclear 
weapons. But Iran or Syria better not get nuclear weapons. It’s okay for 
the United States to have nuclear weapons. It’s okay for the countries 
that we say it’s okay for. We are waging a nuclear war in Iraq right 
now. That country is contaminated. It will be contaminated for 
practically eternity now. It’s okay for them to have them, but Iran or 
Syria can’t have them. It’s okay for Israel to occupy Palestine, but 
it’s – yeah – and it’s okay for Iraq to occupy – I mean, for the United 
States to occupy Iraq, but it’s not okay for Syria to be in Lebanon. 
They’re a bunch of fucking hypocrites! And we need to, we just need to 
rise up. We need a revolution and make it be peaceful and make it be 
loving and let’s just show them all the love we have for humanity 
because we want to stop the inhumane slaughter.

Perché? C'è qualcosa di strano, nelle sue parole? Sono un po' semplici ma
giuste.

Si riferiva, ovviamente esagerando, al DU. Ti servono sempre i sottotitoli?

Cioe' sparava una emerita puttanata.

Se esagera su quello, allora non è che esagera anche su altre cose?
Tipo il fatto che suo figlio è una vittima?
E molte altre.

"Se esagera su quello, allora non è che esagera anche su altre cose?"
No. E' un paralogismo vecchio come la sofistica. E il DU rimane cmq sospetto
(come si evince dai manuali che gli USA fanno leggere ai loro soldati).
"Tipo il fatto che suo figlio è una vittima?"
Suo figlio E' oggettivamente una vittima. Vittima di aver creduto alle balle
(comprovatamente tali) impartitegli dal suo sedicente commander-in-chief.
"E molte altre."
Ad es.?
Namib

balle (comprovatamente tali)
"Comprovate tali" .... solo da quel fesso di Namib che non vuole
mostrare le prove al mondo :)

No, era tutto vero. Specialmente quello che diceva Blair, che avevano
delle armi pronte a colpire l'Occidente in 45 minuti, giusto?
Infatti poi l'ultimatum mica e' partito dal consiglio di sicurezza UN,
e' partito dalle Azzorre, dove c'era anche il baffetto spagnolo che non
s'e' mai capito cosa c'entrasse.
