Mrs. Sheehan speaks

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.

I sincerely hope that she eventually finds the peace she deserves.

I said almost the same thing last night. I think that she is being exploited to further an agenda. I think that she is operating on raw emotion, and she would benefit from some grief therapy. She should be surrounded by friends and family and people who have her best interest in mind.

I also hope that she finds peace. I feel very sorry for her and her loss.

I think that the President should take a few minutes to meet with her in private. He can express his sympathy for her loss and end this media frenzy. It might help mend some fences with the opposition.
