It depends
Submitted by Rich Gardner on Tue, 05/27/2008 - 6:42amon whether one is a Venezuelan. If you're from Venezuela and you've had problems with capitalists, then yes, socialism is worth dying for. If you're an American like ourselves, then not so much, as capitalism's been pretty good to us.
My point is that Sheehan's question "What IS the 'noble cause' my son died for?" is very deeply relevant. If we who constructed the above display are being condemned because we're failing to honor our soldiers and their sacrifices properly, but the best you guys can do is to launch an ad hominem attack on Casey Sheehan's mom, then we're convinced that you guys don't have an answer to her very good question.
If the Iraq War is about nothing more than oil, then how are we dishonoring anyone by pointing that out?
