Ron makes a good point. Cindy Sheehan is after publicity, and she got it. I'm not sure I see this as a huge problem, either for her, or for the rest of us. As for myself, I'm a little tired of people who protest without offering viable alternatives -- and then claim that they're making a difference just by making a noise. Cindy Sheehan is sad that so many have died; so am I, and so are most people. She thinks Bush has followed a course of action that is bad for the country, and bad for the world; so do I, and so do a lot of people. I am sorry for her loss, but she doesn't seem to have much of a clue about what should be done to make things better. In the end, complaining is just complaining; everyone has a right to do it, but it doesn't really mean much unless you have a better plan. What's hers?
