Cindy Sheehan

I have tried to avoid commenting on the whole Cindy Sheehan ordeal. I obviously respect her right to protest, and I have to admire her PR savvy in making this the story that it is. That said, she has marginalized herself with comments like these.

"We are not waging a war on terror in this country. We’re waging a war of terror. The biggest terrorist in the world is George W. Bush!"

War is a terrible thing. But calling the President the "biggest terrorist in the world" for leading wars against terrorism and for freedom and democracy in Afghanistan and Iraq is so patently ridiculous that very soon 95% of the people are going to stop any paying attention to her at all. Moreover, these types of comments are destructive to the very anti-war movement that she is attempting to promote.
