Cindy Sheehan Die Quotations

I know my son. I know him better than anybody else. And, he wasn't married, we were very close. He called me everyday when he was at Fort Hood. We talked about all of his life, all of my life. And, I lost my best friend when I lost my son. But I know my son. And, I know he would say 'I don't want anymore of my buddies killed just because I am dead; I want my buddies to come home alive.' And I know when I get up to greet him, when it is my time, he is going to say 'good job, Mom.' He is not going to accuse me of dishonoring his memory. And, anybody who knows my son better than me, would like to come forward and tell me something different, I would be glad to hear their voices.

I know my son. And I know he would say, 'I don't want any more of my buddies killed just because I'm dead. I want my buddies to come home alive,

So what really gets me is these chickenhawks, who sent our kids to die, without ever serving in a war themselves. They don't know what it's all about

All I want is for President Bush to take one hour out of his vacation and meet with me before another mother's son dies in Iraq, ... You don't use our country's precious sons and daughters unless it's absolutely necessary to defend America. Mr. President, it is time to level with the American people.

I loved and protected my own children like a fierce mama bear, but one of them died anyway. It was a dark day when I realized that part of my responsibility in Casey's death was that I did not love all the children of the world in that same real, not abstract, way.

I know he would say: 'I don't want any more of my buddies killed just because I'm dead. I want my buddies to come home alive'.

No Iraqis Left Me on a Roof to Die

To me, every single member since Number One has been tragic and needless and unnecessary, ... My son was somewhere around 615, and I've been working so hard for peace since my son was killed and now almost 1,400 more soldiers have been killed since Casey died.

All those reports prove my son died needlessly.

You know what I would have said? 'What noble cause did my son die for?'

I want to ask the president, why did he kill my son? He said my son died in a noble cause, and I want to ask him what that noble cause is.

I'm coming back to Crawford for my son. As long as the president, who sent him to die in a senseless war, is in Crawford, that is where I belong.

I know that they are in heaven, ... and I know that that's why this movement is growing because we have tens of thousands of angels behind us that are supporting us, that are saying, 'Well, you know we died and that was really crappy, but we hope that our deaths are going to make the world a better place,' and it's up to us to make sure that it does.

Last night I had fire ants crawling all over me. Physically it's very uncomfortable, but I think of all the soldiers in Iraq who, when it's too hot or too stormy, can't go into town for refuge. As bad as we have it here, it's nothing compared to how bad they have it over there.

That lying bastard, George Bush, is taking a five-week vacation in time of war, ... tells me why my son died in Iraq. I've got the whole month of August off, and so does he.

If peace activists really want to make changes, they have to start putting intense pressure on their elected officials. Of course, everything should be non-violent, because we are trying to create a peaceful world, and violence can't produce peace - no matter what George W. Bush and his buddies say.

What was the noble cause my son died for?

All of those reports prove my son died needlessly. This proved that every reason George Bush gave us for going to war was wrong.
