Let's see...what did I mean.  I see moral power coming
from purity of intent with no other agenda than that
intent. Her son went to war because of the threat of
WMD. He is killed. There are no WMD. Why did you make
him go to war and die, Mr. President? You just wasted
the life of my son; you allowed his death to occur for
no reason.Why? Powerful position. But Cindy seems to
have taken a position of opposition to make Bush
"wrong" and therefore she will be "right". I see her
as attempting to humiliate Bush. Nothing can come from
this. Each side just tries to make the other side
wrong. No true moral debate.
