Why? Because they don't like her politics? Why is that a headline component of the story other that to create controversy? Creating news... emails from 'godmothers' <br><br>I don't agree with all of Sheehan's politics, but that's not the issue at all. She has said some amazingly stupid things over the last few days, again that's not the story. Should we disrespect her protest because maybe sometime in her past she failed to pay taxes for a nanny <br><br><br><br><br>

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Why? Because they don't like her politics?<p><hr></blockquote><p>Because they are a part of the family and they wanted to release a statement saying, in effect, stop using your son, our family member, to advance your political activism. Since her political activism is part of her protest, and thus part of the story here, her family's statement is relevant to that story. <br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Should we disrespect her protest because maybe sometime in her past she failed to pay taxes for a nanny<p><hr></blockquote><p>I don't think anyone is disrespecting her protest. As members of her immediate family, they felt compelled to issue a statement. <br><br>* * * * * * * * * * * * * *<br>I [censored] bigger than you.

So here is a simple question. Why was an e-mail sent, instead of a press conference to the local media?<br><br>

What I would like to know, exactly how should a parent react to the death of a child and the reasons for it? Also, who has the right to tell her how to act? Even if we would not do what she is doing, who are we to decide what is the correct thing for her to do or not do? <br><br>How would you react to losing a son or daughter?<br><br>Chris<br><br><br><br>Light-Imagery<br><br> <br><br>

Part of my duty as the President is to meet with those who've lost a loved one. And so, you know, listen, I sympathize with Mrs. Sheehan. She feels strongly about her -- about her position. And I am -- she has every right in the world to say what she believes. This is America. She has a right to her position. And I've thought long and hard about her position. I've heard her position from others, which is, get out of Iraq now. And it would be -- it would be a mistake for the security of this country and the ability to lay the foundations for peace in the long-run, if we were to do so.</blockquote><br><br><br>* * * * * * * * * * * * * *<br>I [censored] bigger than you.<br>
