Cindy Sheehan characterizes the anti-war movement as a "no balls" effort.
"But we turned away. We let it go. The protest moments passed. "And the war came." That's why all our no-balls protests will remain nothing more than a brief footnote in a long, still-churning saga of atrocity and slaughter, while January 25, the day the Egyptians first took to the streets - and stayed in the streets - will be honored for generations as a landmark of human liberation."

Can't really blame her for her attitude as she's put most everything she had into the effort while the vast majority of the anti-war movement will do nothing that puts their comfortable lifestyle at risk.

Had just finished reading the thread about a solitary 71 year old man who was arrested for peacefully protesting at a speech given by SoS Clinton and wondered what Cindy has been up to lately.

1. "But what if, as antiwar protesters, we had instead stayed?"
What if, indeed

2. Thought it interesting that Cindy used what some may consider to be sexist language.
The anti-war movement has no balls. Implying it's feminine in nature and not masculine or tough enough.
