By doing nothing, Bush unwittingly creates a symbol
I can't believe this was in my local newspaper.

We agree with President Bush that this is not the time to withdraw American forces from Iraq. To do so now, leaving Iraqis to deal with the probabilities of a civil war and a bloodbath that would make the current insurgency seem like a picnic, would be a tragic abandonment of what we initiated, for better or worse, in Iraq.
That said, the president’s use of that argument as an excuse not to meet with a grieving mother camped outside his Texas ranch, where he is vacationing, is a case of obstinacy bordering on stupidity.

by continuing to turn his back on Mrs. Sheehan, Bush turns his back on a country that is growing increasingly doubtful and wary about our future in Iraq.
