Cindy Sheehan's "Grief"

Can't say I blame her husband for wanting a divorce:

But in fairness, I don't know why her husband wants one. If it was me, I'd want one for disgracing my son's sacrifice and dishonoring his memory.

Ms. Sheehan's sacrifice is too terrible for me to contemplate, but certainly no greater than a thousand other mothers. It's very duplicitous of her to demand a meeting with President Bush when after her last meeting with him she complimented his sincere concern and offer of condolences. Ms. Sheehan has either willingly or unwittingly become a stooge of the anti-war crackpots who would prefer to continue to sacrifice innocent lives to tyrants and terrorists. It's looking more and more like 'willingly' to me. 'Grief-stricken' only explains so much.

Ms. Sheehan now claims that her first meeting with the President in June 2004 was before "reports surfaced of of faulty pre-war intelligence"? Clearly, a ploy to align her pain with the plethora of anti-war loonies. Not even a good lie to crassly manipulate her 'loss' into her 15 minutes of fame and to explain her 'change of heart' - in full knowledge of her almost immunity to critique.

So Ms. Sheehan demands that all troops should be brought home now, completely abandoning the cause for which her son gave his life. I wonder how her son would have felt about her actions? Even if he felt the same, I wonder if he'd have wanted his mother to dishonor his fellow soldiers and friends?

I could be wrong about Cindy Sheehan, but that's how it looks to me. While I can understand most reactions to such an overwhelming loss, I cannot understand manipulating it for a personal agenda. In fact, I'm fairly revolted by the idea, and I bet W is too.

Adios MF,
