(62,325 posts)Yes she is. She turned the country around on the Bush administration. It's amazing to see people here on this board which was so supportive of her and others who dared to speak out during those times when it was not as easy as it is now, looking for reasons to diminish what she achieved.
She will be remembered as the woman who never got an answer to her question about the war her son died in. What was the 'noble cause' he died for? And why would anyone who opposed the Iraq War, as I see some here claiming they did, support the multiple extensions of that illegal war into Yemen, Pakistan, and wherever else we are?
Cindy Sheehan stood up when others were too afraid to do so. How easy it is to sit behind a computer and criticize a mother who did so much to awaken this country and who was the ONLY person who made Bush look like the coward he was and exposed him to the world finally as the phony he was.

I don't want him to use my son's name or my family name to justify any more killing,'' she said.
