Cindy Sheehan, whose soldier son was killed in Iraq three years
ago, said yesterday she was stepping down from her role as the
figurehead of the US campaign against the war.

"This is my resignation letter as the 'face' of the American
anti-war movement," she wrote in a sometimes bitter diary entry
on the website Daily Kos. "I am going to take whatever I have
left, and go home. I am going to go home and be a mother to my
surviving children, and try to regain some of what I have lost."

{sorry, Cindy, your dignity and your reputation are long since
gone, gone, gone.}

Ms Sheehan, 49, rose to prominence when she voiced her
discontent with President George Bush's policies when he met her
and other grieving members of military families.

Announcing her decision on Memorial Day, the anniversary on
which the US remembers its war dead, she said that her
announcement had been prompted by the recent hostility she had
faced from Democrats.

"I was the darling of the so-called left as long as I limited my
protests to George Bush and the Republican party," she wrote.
"However, when I started to hold the Democratic party to the
same standards that I held the Republican party, support for my
cause started to erode, and the 'left' started labelling me with
the same slurs that the right used."

{tossed out like a used kleenex}

On Saturday, in an open letter to Democratic members of
Congress, she announced that she was leaving the party because
she felt its leaders had failed to change the country's course
in Iraq.

She said that the most devastating conclusion she had reached
after three years of protest, which included a trip to Cuba and
the setting up of a protest camp outside Mr Bush's Texas ranch,
was that her son had died for nothing.

{oh, no, he died for his honor and his friends in the service of
his country. It's you who have gotten nothing from his death.}

A pity you'll never do the same. Oh well, such is fate.

Cindy Sheehan, for all her faults, is a better person than "Fred
Stone". "Fred" is just an armchair general without an ounce of
compassion or empathy for others.

Appeals to emotion are simply not good arguments, Olrik. Compassion
and empathy play well to an audience but they don't defuse a
terrorist bomb.

And you can, I take it? A likely story.

She lost her son in a useless, futile and detrimental war of choice.

And there were no "terrorist bomb" to defuse in Iraq before the USA
invaded it under false pretenses.

But go on, play the little general. She still is a better "man" then
you'll ever be.
