| Cindy Sheehan's odyssey |
 Peace activist and mother of a slain U.S. soldier Cindy Sheehan is gaining momentum. She's even being called the Rosa Parks of the anti-war movement. I still doubt Bush will have the smarts or more importantly, the humility, to meet with her (though political calculations could get him to do just about anything), but clearly, her vigil is timely given the continued downward spiral in Iraq, and the increasing certainty that we are waging a war whose main effect seems to have been cementing new ties between the Shiites of Iraq and Iran. Other than that, I have a hard time seeing what we've accomplished. That being the case, and with more than 1,840 American troops dead and thousands more maimed, every mother of every soldier and Marine in Iraq should be asking the questions Ms. Sheehan is asking.
