Now, I understand the Lew Rockwell folks hate the war, hate Bush, etc., but inviting Cindy Sheehan speak at an upcoming conference is a bit much. I’m more indulgent of the woman than some – she’s clearly lost her mind, but that could happen to any of us if one of our children were killed — but whatever you think about the war, the appropriate response to her is to politely look the other way, not provide a forum. The central role of America-hating kooks in the anti-war movement is why Vietnam went on for so long – what patriot was going to side with people like that? The opponents of the current war seem to have fallen into the same trap. (Hat tip to Larry Auster.)
