It has been more than a week since Cindy Sheehan came to Crawford, Texas to ask President Bush what was the noble cause in Iraq that took her 24 year old son's life.

It would have been so easy for President Bush to take 30 minutes or so of his time during his 5 week long vaction to pay his respects to a grieving mother whose son died in the war he started. Instead, George Bush has attended at least one political fund raiser, has gone bicycle riding, gone fishing, thrown a pitch at a little league ball game, took naps, and is also reported to have read.

There has been other Mudcat threads about Cindy Sheehan. Among those threads is Cindy Sheehan will be arrested tomorrow

In my opinion, the reason why Cindy Sheehan wasn't arrested at that time was because her request to meet with President Bush has achieved world wide attention from the mass media. I believe that the reason why Cindy Sheehan has become so powerful a symbol of people's concern about the Iraqi war is that she speaks from her role as a loving mother.

Veterans and other concerned citizens have traveled to Crawford, Texas to show their support for Cindy. Other mothers, fathers, and relatives whose sons or daughters died in Iraq have aslo joined with Cindy in Crawford, Texas. They are still waiting to ask George Bush why their children died in this preemptive war.
