The face of the far left comes to Canada

Cindy Sheehan is here urging Canada's armed forces to get out of Afghanistan:

"They should take their tents and put them on the Prime Minister's lawn and say, `I want to know why you're making our soldiers fight and die, and kill innocent people in Afghanistan, and I'm not moving until you let me know'."

Writing on her website http://www.truthout.org, Sheehan often talks about the Bush White House the way the president talks about terrorists — in the rhetoric of good versus evil.

"We are the light and they are the darkness," she writes.

"We will prevail, we will be victorious ... The darkness has lost because our beacons of peace and truth are shining for the entire world to see."

She calls Bush "cowardly" and a "macho dictatorial tyrant"; his advisers are described as "reckless maniacs" and "sycophantic cabinet and hangers-on."

Invariably, she refers to Bush as George.

"If George had as much courage and integrity in his entire body as Casey had in his pinky, he would have met with me," she writes.

Although she has every right to express her opinion, unlike the poor Afghan souls who lived under the Taliban, how can anyone possibly consider this woman credible?
