By her behavior, she completely dispels the myth that somebody can, in such a manner, "support the troops while opposing the war."

Yes, it is possible to question the legitimacy of present policy in Iraq without undermining the ongoing efforts there, if such is indeed the intention of those doing the questioning. But Sheehan's words do no less than denigrate America's entire effort, and therefore inspire the enemy to kill more American soldiers.

Thus, she ensures that many other American mothers are similarly aggrieved as she claims to be. Worse yet, she does not grant those mothers such latitude for their own grief as many have granted her, Instead, she cruelly demeans them as "brainwashed" for remaining supportive of the War and the President. Still worse, those who killed her son, and who by her words are further motivated to kill more Americans are, according to Sheehan, "Freedom Fighters."

The liberal media is having a great time encouraging Cindy Sheehan to become ever more of a spectacle with each passing day. But, in the final analysis, they are ultimately not to be blamed. She has shown herself willing to stand on the grave of her own heroic son and sully it, not from a broken heart, but in service to the liberal agenda.
