Mrs. Sheehan has the right to say and do anything she wants (within the law, of course) as far as I am concerned. I can't begin to understand the grief she must be feeling and she should deal with it however is best for her.
However, I can't help but feel that this whole brouhaha is not of Mrs. Sheehan's doing. I feel like the liberals latched on to her and are trying to make her into a "symbolic grieving mother" which is not the same as a mother who is in grief. It's not about Mrs. Sheehan, it's about their agenda and they're using her as a puppet. That's terrible and exploitative.
For the record, I detest this practice whether it's liberals or conservatives doing it. The press conference President Bush held where he was surrounded by children who had grown from frozen embryos turned my stomach.
As far as Mrs. Sheehan, I sincerely hope that she eventually finds the peace she deserves.
