Ara, després de denunciar durant dos anys les maldats de l’administració Bush, la mare antiguerra Cindy Sheehan tira la tovallola. Però no ho fa a causa de la inhumana persecució a la que ha estat sotmesa pel govern feixista nord-americà, que encapçala el nazi George W. Bush, sinó perquè s’ha convertit en una nosa pels demòcrates i els dirigents del moviment pacifista nord-americà que li estaven fent la vida impossible.
Ho explica avui en el seu blog:
I have come to some heartbreaking conclusions this Memorial Day Morning. These are not spur of the moment reflections, but things I have been meditating on for about a year now. The conclusions that I have slowly and very reluctantly come to are very heartbreaking to me.
The first conclusion is that I was the darling of the so-called left as long as I limited my protests to George Bush and the Republican Party. Of course, I was slandered and libeled by the right as a "tool" of the Democratic Party. This label was to marginalize me and my message. How could a woman have an original thought, or be working outside of our "two-party" system?
However, when I started to hold the Democratic Party to the same standards that I held the Republican Party, support for my cause started to erode and the "left" started labeling me with the same slurs that the right used. I guess no one paid attention to me when I said that the issue of peace and people dying for no reason is not a matter of "right or left", but "right and wrong."
El post acaba amb un to mesiànic que revela fins a quin punt aquesta pobre dona ha perdut l’oremus, manipulada i utlitzada sense escrúpols pels moviments polítics i mediàtics progresistes nord-americans:
This is my resignation letter as the "face" of the American anti-war movement. This is not my "Checkers" moment, because I will never give up trying to help people in the world who are harmed by the empire of the good old US of A, but I am finished working in, or outside of this system. This system forcefully resists being helped and eats up the people who try to help it. I am getting out before it totally consumes me or anymore people that I love and the rest of my resources. Good-bye America ...you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can’t make you be that country unless you want it. It’s up to you now.
