Rest In Peace

For four years, Cindy Sheehan has trampled the good name of Army Spc. Casey Sheehan and the thousands of other soldiers who gave their lives in Iraq. She did it for one reason and one reason only: Anger.
She wasted four years of her life that she could have spent with her husband and three other children. Her 29-year old marriage is now in ruins and the insurance money she received for her son's death was wasted in buying a plot of land in Texas as a permanent site for protests.
Her legacy will never be one of helping shape the anti-war debate in America. Instead it will be meetings with Hugo Chavez and an ability to insult and upset even those who were once part of her "cause." She is now beholden to her own delusions and has become a sad, pathetic figure.
It's hard to even dislike her any more. Instead, I pity her. Her son died fighting for what he believed in. She destroyed her own life for a cause she doesn't even believe in anymore. But at least Casey can now rest in peace.
