"Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan has left her protest because her mom is in ill health. Maybe now the media will quit talking about this woman and her protest, probably not. I thank both Sheehan and her son for their sacrifice and I hope evryone else does too. But I draw the line on using her son's death as a reason why she should be able to dictate whatever she wants to the president of the United States. Cindy Sheehan needs to remember that she is not the only parent in the country or even the world who has lost a child. Perhaps Mrs. Sheehan also needs to remember that if we had attacked terrorists long before this her son and thousands of other people would still be alive, including those 3000 men, women, children killed on September 11th, 2001. Her son and the other soldiers who died over in Iraq were fighting there to make sure freedom would survive in America and to introduce freedom to the Iraqis. And they are succeeding in their mission too, in January, Iraq had its first free elections since 1968!
