Ireland was complicit in his death, so let us remember that

Spc. Casey Sheehan transited through Shannon, thanks to Bush & Bertie, on his way to his death. His brief time here confirmed for Casey his love for Ireland. What a shame and disgrace on us that we were complicit in his death! Today is a time to remember Casey, his family, and especially his mother, Cindy Sheehan, who has raised to US and perhaps global peace movement from, if not the grave, then certainly ennui. She deserves our thanks and our sympathies on this day.

Please pay some sort of tribute to the Sheehan family today. They deserve our sympathies for our government helped killed this fine young Irish American. We here in Ireland can support the Sheehans with prayer, with a moment of silence, and by letting them know what Casey & Cindy mean to us.

I hope you will visit Code Pink Ireland's memorial to Casey Austin Sheehan and send a comment to his family. These will be passed along to Cindy Sheehan, who bothered to come to this country and speak truth to the powers that be. She deserves our respect, our thanks, and our heartfelt thanks on this terrible day. A kind word from the people of Ireland would mean so much to her and the entire Sheehan clan.

Thank you.
