This is an EXCELLENT BOOK,
By
This review is from: Dear President Bush (City Lights Open Media) (Paperback)
Well, some reviewers who are warmongers obviously have their agendas and their activists who have not read the books they are reviewing. They are part of the Neo-Con conspiracy to keep the American public in the dark about the truth. I am the author of "Land of Childhood's Fears" - a book about the Vietnam War - (just google the title and see) and so I speak with a bit of authority. This book is so heart-wrenching that I had to read it in short sessions. It is a glaring example of the attitude of the current administration - THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US - THEY NEVER CARED ABOUT ANYTHING BUT THEIR OWN GREED. My Web site has video Documentaries you can download FREE - So before you buy the negative reviews on Cindy Sheehan, learn the TRUTH. Read this book, and my book "Land of Childhood's Fears" which you can also get at Amazon. Take a week to read these two books, and your views about the war in Iraq will drastically change - download the videos from my web site and your entire paradigm structure about the country you live in will change. In the Bible, 2 Peter Chapter 3, it says that in the last days, people are "WILLINGLY IGNORANT". It is a shame that people don't WANT to learn the truth, because what they would have to do to ACT on that truth is unthinkable.

Great Book, Great Message,
By
This review is from: Dear President Bush (City Lights Open Media) (Paperback)
I have meet Cindy, she has paid a price that few will ever know for this war. The book is a good read and asks the questions that need to be answered.
Sad that some are using Amazon as nothing more than a place to trash an American hero. Buy the book, them give a rating you hacks!

Apparently The Hired Shills Below Know ZIP About America,
By
This review is from: Dear President Bush (City Lights Open Media) (Paperback)
THIS is a heartfelt, well written book.NO one who did in fact 'actually read it' OR who ever heard Cindy speak in person like my wife and I (both M.D.'s) haveCould call her 'rambling' or incoherent. That statement is nothing but sheer BALONEY.Also ... Cindy represents a "small minority" ???What CAVE have you been living in? The election THIEF is down to below 30% approval in ALL categories.Cindy represents MOST Americans, and is not a 'stay on the sidelines and do nothing' person = God bless her efforts (and the upcoming movie about her starring Oscar winner Susan Sarandon will do very well).The insincere people writing below need to GET OVER their envy of this woman (Telling someone else to 'go home and grieve' or 'shut up' could not BE more unAmerican ! Fortunately our founding fathers refused to do either of those.)Who has spoken all over the planet, is greatly admired in both America and Europe andHas made a difference in changing minds, to get this 'blood for oil' phony war ENDED.
