This is the country that is going to teach Iraq, or Palestine, or Iran, or anyplace in the world, about democracy? Update: Sheehan explains " What Really Happened? " Here's the conclusion: " I have lost my son. I have lost my First Amendment rights. I have lost the country that I love. Where did America go? I started crying in pain. What did Casey die for? What did the 2244 other brave young Americans die for? What are tens of thousands of them over there in harm's way for still? For this? I can't even wear a shirt that has the number of troops on it that George Bush and his arrogant and ignorant policies are responsible for killing.
