The President and Cindy Sheehan
Hers is not the voice of a celebrity or politician. It's the voice of a woman who has sustain an injury that cannot be healed.
So what do you think? Should President Bush take an hour out of his vacation to sit down for a chat with Cindy Sheehan? Sheehan is the mom whose son was killed in Iraq and has chosen a roadside in Crawford, Texas as a platform for her protest. Sheehan says she just wants to ask the president some questions. She wants to know why her son died? Is she entitled to an audience? The president has visited plenty of parents. He錕斤拷s visited with many wounded. But, does a woman whose politics is not aligned with his, whose view of the war is in direct opposition, does she deserve a hearing? We know the president is busy. He錕斤拷s made a number of politicking and policy trips since his vacation began. He錕斤拷s been visited by Donald Rumsfeld and Condoleezza Rice. He錕斤拷s also found time to go mountain biking and went to one of the regional Little League playoff games. Meanwhile Cindy Sheehan maintains her vigil. Hers is not the voice of a
celebrity or politician. It錕斤拷s the voice of a woman who has sustained an injury
that cannot be healed. She錕斤拷s had something taken from her in a manner that in
her eyes cannot be justified. The president says he錕斤拷s aware of the anguish. He
says Mrs. Sheehan has all the rights in the world to voice her opinion, to
protest. Does she deserve an audience? Should she have the chance to have a face
to face meeting, to look the president straight in the eye, to look into his
heart.
