Cindy Sheehan and Barbara Becnel (Save Tookie) Speak at UCB

I have some serious questions about this Cindy Sheehan sitaution. If her son had not died, would she be silent, like she was before his death? So only HER son's death made any difference? How many kids and mothers, INNOCENT kids and mothers, did Cindy Sheehan's kid TERRORIZE? Did he kill others while she said NOTHING, then she raised her ruckus only once HER kid was hurt?

I am trying to understand how a woman who willingly sent and supported her son in the military said NOTHING about her son torturing, terrorizing or murdering Iraqis in an illegal war publicly PRIOR to her own loss. How is that not completely self-centered? So if her son had been able to continue to murder and plunder in the name of America, we still would not know her name? And has she apologized to the Iraqi people yet? And in THEIR press? Has she volunteered to go HELP those her son TERRORIZED? Or is she merely capitalizing upon a spotlight she created, a celebrity persona she created, a new career path, in his name?

Cindy Sheehan's son was the illegal occupier in a foreign country. The people who killed him live there. He had no right to be there. If she had a problem with this war, she should have stood up to the plate and done what she is doing now BEFORE her own loss, while she was CAUSING the deaths. Her SILENCE about her son's murderous career choice is odd in contrast to how loud she is now. Is the point that you do not need to care what terrorism your son engages in, unless he comes home dead? Are we going to have to wait for each son to come home dead for each mother to get it?

Cindy, I am a mother too. I have a 21 year old son. And I am speaking out BEFORE my kid is dead. I am speaking out BEFORE I let him murder and terrorize in an illegal war. I am not going to wait until MY son is dead to care like you did. You wrote a letter to Mrs. Bush recently saying your kid was killed by her kid. Well, both of you have allowed yourself to raise paid murderers and terrorists and shame on you both! Both of you do not seem to care about anyone else until you are personally affected. I am not a soldier, my son is not a soldier, I could say NOTHING about this war if I so chose. But I am speaking up for the mothers of Iraqi kids killed by U.S. Military, military that lied to play war there, NOW without having to lose MY son to understand this. The mothers and kids killed by people like Cindy Sheehan's son deserve MORE attention than the alt press is giving Cindy Sheehan.

Cindy Sheehan's kid has now gotten a million times more press than the dead kids her own kid's squadron has killed. A white middle class woman's son IS NOT more valuable than Iraqi mothers' sons. When will we see Sheehan step up to the plate and value and honor the people her son terrorized with the same vigilance? I have no respect for Sheehan honestly. She had nothing to say about anyone else's tragedies...it is as if hers is the only child to die. And that is just how white middle class people think. Only THEIR children matter. Cindy Sheehan raised a paid terrorist son. That IS the reality. She can cry all she wants, but she is not an innocent victim. The mothers and Iraqi children her child terrorized ARE innocent. Cindy Sheehan is NOT innocent, nor is she a victim. She supported and willingly sent her son to an illegal war...thus she got what she wished upon the Iraqi people. Would she have preferred it was Iraqi kids dead instead of her own? It seems pretty clear that IS the situation. We would never have heard of her if her OWN kid had not fallen.

My book is not published but after today i will finish it. I am not a writer, I just put my feelings on paper. I can't believe that this is the world the god had in store for us. My heart is aching inside and its not just because of Stanley Tookie Williams but for all the wrong doing in America. We are not free when there are Cancers,Aids, Demons who wish to play got. I don't feel The Governor nor the law nor a jury should be able to give some one DEATH. I am aching inside and know one is here but the lord will provail and I believe Mr.Williams is truely innocent and I don' feel he should apologize for something he did not do. He was a true man and he died just because.

Can't bring back the alledged victims. Whe will the US catch up with the civilized world w/ it's policies? Will they ever?
The prison industrial complex is a failing machine. End drug prohibition for starters.

There is nothing optimistic to elaborate on the heart-rending pictures demonstrated on the web

It is disappointing to watch UC Berkeley degenerating, for the last 35-40 years, into a hotbed of fierce anti-Americanism, "multiculturalism" and "political correctness." No wonder this transformation came with great price: the University - once a world leading scientific institution in phys-ics and chemistry – was loosing (and continue to loose) his prestige. Suffice to say that during 29 years, from 1939 to 1968, there were 12 (twelve) UC Berkeley's Nobel Prize winners in physics and chemistry, whereas during the last 37 years only 2 (two) Nobel laureates: one in physics (in 1986), and one in chemistry (in 1997). So on average, in the first period there was 1 Nobel Prize winner every 3 years, while in the second period only 1 such laureate every 18 years. End of the story.
