Reply #129: I get so tired of seeing the same ridiculous idea

over and over and over. A mother who has lost a son doesn't give a DAMN about publicity for herself. Cindy Sheehan may be seeking publicity, but it is publicity for the anti-war movement that she accidentally became a leader of, and that has grown exponentially because of her.

You can't possibly have a child or children, or you couldn't think that. You couldn't know, I guess, that losing a child is supposed to be the worst thing that can happen to a person in their life. I am a parent, and I cannot imagine wanting to live if I lost a child.

The fact that this remarkable woman has been able to take her personal loss and turn the small anti-war movement into a huge one, is amazing to me. I can't imagine ever having the courage or strength to do what she has done. Frankly, I'm in awe of her.

Publicity for WHAT? What are you insinuating? What the hell is she "just seeking publicity" for? I'll tell you, in the event you don't know: SHE WANTS TO END THE ILLEGAL, IMMORAL WAR that is killing other parent's sons and daughters each and every day we're in it.

I hope she continues to seek and find "publicity" until she's successful in her endeavor. Don't you?
