Giving Cindy Sheehan the finger

One more post about Cindy, that kinda puts her all into perspective. This is a Daily Kos interview by someone who calls themselves Darksyde -insert joke here- with Cindy. Here is an excerpt:

DS: Well, some would say that removing a brutal dictator who tortured his opponents and their families, committed genocide, and giving the people of Iraq a shot at freedom and democracy has some value. How do you respond to those points?
CS: He was their brutal dictator. There are so many brutal dictators in the world and we are not removing them. We propped Saddam up and gave him weapons to gas his own people.
Besides, Bush gives the reason that we were attacked on 9/11 because 'they hate freedom and democracy', so why are we trying to force something on them that they hate? The country is demolished and so many people are dead for something they never asked for.

Cindy actually suggested that the majority of the people of Iraq were the people that Bush was talking about, when he said that they "hate freedom and democracy".
This is truly a "blond moment" on her part.

Cindy; Bush wasn't talking about the masses. He was talking about the Bathists, and the people that the MSM affectionately nicknamed "insurgents." They don't want freedom in Iraq, because if Iraq is free, they lose power.

Moreover, anyone who suggests that the people of Iraq didn't want democracy are outright racist.
The last time that argument was used, was prior to the Civil Rights Act... when Americans in the South tried to suggest that black Americans wouldn't know what to do with the right to vote, and did they really want it anyway?

And this is where irony comes in:
People like yourself accuse GWB of being a power-hungry facist. Yet, he's trying to spread democracy to a country in the Middle East, and you're attacking him for it. Moreover, you suggest (strongly) that the people of Iraq don't like democracy.

Well, that's not true. And at least one woman would like to give you the finger.
