1. Sheehan’s views may not reflect the specific views of the American majority, but they do sit alongside a string of polls that show a growing public distrust of Bush and a disdain for the war. I think most Americans, however - including myself - take a view of resignation: we shouldn’t just pull out now and leave that mess to the Iraqis.

   In the end, I think some of Sheehan’s critics are dismissing her too quickly. Is her vision clouded? Absolutely. But she brought the war home in a far more personal way than any other event I can remember.

   I agree that her son was in Iraq as a volunteer and, as such, knew of the risks. A grieving mother, however, is prime media fodder and from a PR standpoint, Sheehan’s critics - including Bush and his “get on with my life” comments - make asses of themselves when they gnash their teeth at her.

2. Well put Aaron. By the way the manner in which the word “children” is being used has nothing to do with age, it means offspring. Whether or not Casey Sheehan would agree with his mother, I bet he wouldn’t want to see her trashed in the media/bogsphere for actions clearly attributable to grief.
