My letter to Cindy Sheehan — inviting her to meet with me and a group of Arab and Muslim dissidents/freedom fighters/democracy activists – ran as a full-page ad in the Waco newspaper on Sunday.

No word yet from Mrs. Sheehan but emails are now pouring in, mostly supportive but sprinkled with the usual angry missives, almost all of them of the “Bush lied!” and “You’re just a chicken hawk!” varieties.

Here are two that I found especially gratifying:

This Navy Mom would like to thank you for your ad. Maybe Cindy will finally see the light.

I just want to let you know how much I appreciate the letter you put in the Waco-Trib. It was time for someone to spell out how evil the Iraqi government was and how important it is for the people there to be rid of it.
My husband and I went to the rally yesterday and it was great finally seeing the Bush-supporters there.
Thanks again for standing up for the truth!
