Cindy Sheehan

I read in Old Soldier's blog that Cindy Sheehan had been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. I personally feel that this woman is a disgrace to her son. Her son fought nobly for his country and helped the Iraqi people recover from years of terrible oppression under the Saddam Hussein regime. This lady has sought undo all the noble work her son and soldiers like him have sought to do. When she has been criticized for her work, she has answered that her critics had no right to criticize her considering she was the mother of a dead soldier. While we most definitely should show kindness to those who have lost loved ones in the War on Terror, Cindy Sheehan doesn't deserve a free pass. Whereas her son sought to make this world a safer place, she has in her misguided way sought to make it unsafer. I hope Old Soldier's information is wrong. The last thing this woman deserves is a prestigious award for what she's done.
