The Dissent of a Fallen Soldier’s Dad
Hundreds of people, including folk singer Joan Baez, have joined anti-war protestor Cindy Sheehan in her vigil outside President Bush’s Crawford, Texas ranch. But not all parents of soldiers who have died in Iraq agree with Sheehan and her demand that US troops be pulled out of Iraq now.
In this radio diary, Ronald Griffin of Emerson, New Jersey who lost his son, Specialist Kyle Griffin, in 2003, explains why Cindy Sheehan doesn’t speak for him.

I will NEVER go to Iraq. Students at my college are against war, esp this useless one in Iraq. I talk to GIs all the time who went AWOL from it and why. The media is full of lies. No soldier wants to be there, only the glory-seeking Generals and ‘leaders’ in office.
