Peace mom Cindy Sheehan didn't change her opposition to the war in Iraq after meeting Tuesday with one of its supporters, Sen. John McCain, a Vietnam veteran whom she called "a warmonger."
Although McCain has criticized the handling of the Iraq war, he has supported President Bush's call to stop terrorism abroad before it reaches the U.S. Sheehan, whose son, Casey, died in Iraq last year, has energized the anti-war movement with her call for troops to be brought home.
"He is a warmonger, and I'm not," Sheehan said after meeting with McCain. "I believe this war is not keeping America safer."
If McCain is a warmonger, what does that maker her son?

Did I miss something? Is there an "anti-war movement" that Cindy Sheehan has "energized"? I watched a PBS show last night about the 60s - now those were protests. I have not seen an anti-war protest worthy of the name from this generation. I have seen a lot of posturing, shouting, media manipulation and blathering.
Also I guess years of torture at the hands of the enemy do not give one "absolute moral authority." Only selling out your dead son can do that. Besides, there would have been no enemy to torture him had not the corrupt American leadership launched an immoral war against an underappreciated, misunderstood sovereign nation that posed no immediate threat and was never proven to have WMD.
