Cindy Sheehan

This mother is a gem - not just because she wants the boys home and the war to end, but because she is making it impossible for the president - and the country - to ignore the body count. That small town in Ohio, for instance, which lost some 20 men at nearly one time a week or so ago was a place any true Commander in Chief would have sought out to comfort and to support his citizens and rally them in his belief that they did not die in vain. No show. Why? I think it's because Bush probably doesn't believe himself that they died for anything other than oil. Remember when the Queen of England refused to come back to London when Diana was killed? And then refused to show any respect at the funeral? Well, she wound up being forced to do both because the English public demanded this gesture. That's what I think Cindy Sheehan's actions are like. Elizabeth II was smart enough to maintain the royal family with a little humility - will Bush be smart enough to do the same? In some ways I wish he would do it - for the sake of the brave men who have died and their families. On the other hand I hope he sticks to charcater and does not - because it seems to me that should tell America and the world just what his character truly is: without morals or ethics, without compassion, without scruples and without sincerity. Bravo Mrs. Sheehan!
