“Casey died for a country which cares more about who will be the next American Idol than how many people will be killed in the next few months while Democrats and Republicans play politics with human lives.” So says Cindy Sheehan, the 'former' war protester, about her son. She has given up and is going home.
Say what you want about war protesters, say what you want about people who start demonstrations. I am sorry that I never really even knew what she was protesting. I didn't know her cause. I barely recognized her name. Say what you want about her, but I say, "I am sorry." I am sorry I didn't know you; I am sorry no one listens or cares. I am sorry that your son was killed in a war. I really am sorry. I can't imagine the hurt you must feel. I pray you will find some healing, some comfort, somehow... somewhere. I'm sorry there are people who make fun of your pain. American Idol couldn't be more appropriately named.

I've seen quite a bit on this woman, and often suspected that she was driven by a group who sought to use her grief to further their agenda; I hope it wasn't a realization of this that stopped her, and I hope her campaign helped her healing process.
