I can understand her being upset at Bush, but he's not directly or even (mostly) indirectly responsable for her sons death. Her son made an adult decision that led to a heroic death. A death he volunteered for in all respects. Just want to inject some logic into the emotions that are running with this one. Sheehan's entire crusade is based on emotion but when you stop with the emotion and start with the thought, it starts to fall apart. No, I'm not knocking her or anyone elses grief over the death of a loved one in Iraq. I'm pointing out that it's not always 100% Bush's fault as people want to make it.
