Come Meet with Us, Cindy Sheehan - FDD Ad in Waco Tribune-Herald Extends Invitation to Meet with Iraqi Freedom Fighters, Torture Victims, Democracy Activists
Washington, D.C. (August 26, 2005) - In a full-page ad to run in Sunday’s Waco Tribune-Herald, Foundation for the Defense of Democracies President Clifford May offers an open invitation to Cindy Sheehan to meet with Iraqi freedom fighters, victims of Saddam’s torture chambers and Middle-Eastern democracy activists and to discuss what is at stake in Iraq.The open letter reads in part:
“You say you want to know, ‘What is the noble cause that my son died for?’ They would answer: Your son died fighting a war against an extremist movement intent on destroying free societies and replacing them with racist dictatorships.”…
“Cindy, you’ve been calling for the U.S. to get out of Iraq at a time when our enemies in that country include the most aggressive and lethal branch of al-Qaeda, led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Can you not see that if we were to retreat from Iraq now, it would be a historic defeat for the United States?”
The ad will run in the Sunday, August 28, edition of the Waco Tribune-Herald.
I highly doubt Cindy’s handlers will allow her to meet with people who have as much if not more “moral authority” to comment on what is going on in Iraq.
So here begins the official DPGI countdown:

Dr. Walid Phares is a senior fellow at the FDD. He is of Lebanese-Christian dissent and often has insights on Middle Eastern events. He also occasionally comments on political matters here in the States, where he is now a citizen.
Good posting here!
