Sheehan and the Cross
Cindy Sheehan is not happy with Democrats.
What’s really interesting though is her explicit invocation of Christian theology to support her point:
"Our message is: Today is Good Friday, when Jesus Christ was killed by the Roman Empire. He rose again on Sunday, came back to life. But our loved ones won't be coming home" from Iraq, she told reporters.
While I don’t quite follow her logic I think it’s fascinating that she would invoke the imagery of the cross and the empty tomb while making a very, very specific point about when US policy:
"The timeline is now, not 18 months, not two years," said Sheehan.
Is the implicit message here that God wants US troops to come home immediately? If so, is there any difference between Sheehan’s argument and Bush’s belief that he is on a mission from God to invade Iraq?

Iraq-focused life
I think it's hard for CS to not relate every event to Iraq. She lost her son there, and I may do the same thing if any of my children were killed in similar situations.
That being the case, it doesn't mean she should make foreign policy decisions for the US. After all, there must many parents who grieved the loss of their children in WW2, thinking the war cost too much. However, it was still worthwhile for us to fight to stop the Nazi's from conquering the world.
I hope she finds peace out of the events of Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday.
