Blogging in the Crawford Heat
August 26th, 2005By David Swanson
I came to Crawford today, and it’s a little different from D.C. in several ways, but mostly it’s hotter. I’ve been to both Camp Caseys, and am blogging this from the cool of the Crawford Peace House.
At Camp Casey 1, I went across the road and talked to the half-dozen pro-war protesters. (There are police in the middle who have declared that there must be no interaction, but I didn’t ask their permission). I asked the pro-warers what they would tell Cindy Sheehan her son died for. Some of them couldn’t come up with any reason for the war. A couple of them came up with this: Saddam Hussein would not have allowed Cindy Sheehan to protest on his road, and the war is being fought to protect that right in the U.S.
