Mother's protest outside President Bush's ranch gains increasing attention

CRAWFORD, Texas -- The mother of a U.S. soldier killed in Iraq who started a quiet roadside peace vigil near President George Bush's ranch last weekend is drawing supporters from across the nation.

Dozens of people have joined her and others have sent flowers and food.

Cindy Sheehan, 48, of Vacaville, California, says she was surprised at the response.

"Before my son was killed, I used to think that one person could not make a difference," she said Wednesday under a tent where she has slept since Saturday. "But one person that is surrounded and supported by millions of people can be heard."

But Kristinn Taylor, co-leader of the Washington, D.C., chapter of FreeRepublic.com, which has held pro-troop rallies, said Sheehan's actions are misguided and hurt troop morale.

"She has a political agenda that goes way beyond her son's death in combat," Taylor said.

3. Sane people in Japan will side with Cindy. Hopefully that's a majority.

4. I'd say she has a political agenda...

but who, of all people who pay attention, does not?

How political agenda can you be when you demand an audience with the President?

That's *not* a bad thing. She pays his salary too.

5. I suspect the Japanese will respect any soldier's mother

who bravely faces down an evil man like Bush. The Japanese respect courage.
