I have a real problem with this woman

Notice the way the subtitle mentions that she's unhappy that the hurricanes have stolen her thunder. Notice the way she's smiling in the picture, even as she's being arrested. Notice the words "used her son's death." Notice that the arcticle says that she was warned several times that she was breaking the law, and she continued to do so anyway.

Cindy Sheehan is not fighting injustice. She's making a name for herself. She's getting her face on television. She's breaking laws. She wants to be a hippy, she wants to follow in the footsteps of Ghandi and Dr. King, using non-violent action. But while she's protesting, she's also breaking laws, and not laws that happen to be the goal of her campaign. No, they just happen to be in her way, an inconvenience, so she figures she'll just ignore them to make fighting for her cause easier.

Finally, I would just like to say, AGAIN, that Mrs. Sheehan's son CHOSE to join the military. He knew the risk, he knew that he might die, and HE STILL CHOSE TO JOIN. HE WAS NOT COERCED BY PRESIDENT BUSH OR ANYONE ELSE. REMEMBER THAT.
