You know, if she did not have a son who died in the war, then people would say she should shut up because she is dishonoring those who are fighting in Iraq, and that until someone in her family gives their life, she has no right to speak out.
It's kind of like those who want to re-open the 9/11 investigation. The conservatives scream that they are dishonoring those who died on 9/11/01. When told that most of those in the movement are family members of those killed, then they change their criticism to "they are exploiting the death of their family member so they can get press".
So then the question is, how can one effectively (effectively means you get press and your issue becomes known by the masses) protest the war in Iraq?
In the case of Cindy Sheehan, I believe she sat outside of Bush's Texas ranch for more than 2 weeks before anyone in the media even noticed her. She was not there for the press. She was there for the cause.
