Cindy Sheehan Arrested

Del Williams
Few people ever make a real point by breaking the law? Sheehan was marching and then decided to sit on the sidewalk. She was warned three times that she was breaking the law, but refused to move. Handcuffs came out and she was arrested. Is this the message she is meaning to send? She says she wants peaceful marches, but I guess breaking the law is okay.

I am sorry, but her arrest is almost a bad b movie script. She lost some of the lime light because of a "little wind and rain," as she called it, and now wants the front page back. How self-centered. I guess the thousand people that died in Katrina are not worth her sympathy. I don't think she gets that the world does not revolve around her.

Maybe Casey believed in what he fought for and died for -- unlike his mother.

Sheehan, 48, will be out in a couple of hours unless she pulls some stunt, which my gut tells me she is going to do. The show must go on. Will she refuse to leave? How about a hunger strike? Which one will accomplish her purpose of staying in the spot light? I suspect neither. Maybe a few days behind bars will help her remember WHO this was supposed to be about. Her son!!

I get flack from writing against this woman, but I don't hear the other 1,900 other mothers putting their dead son on display. If she did not want him to fight in a war then she should not have let him join. She could have camped out at his house until he relented. Mothers have ways of making children feel guilty, so why didn't she use her's? Maybe Casey believed in what he fought for and died for unlike his mother.
