speaks for others, apparently millions of others, then her story is a trigger for many many other stories.

she can not long endure the burden that has been placed on her by others--to test the waters for antiwar activism--who can?

who would attempt to bear that responsibility? cindy sheehan did and is.

she is not an employee of the antiwar movement.

if her story is indeed the only effective agent of change, nothing will change when her humanity naturally interferes: fatigue, grief, illness, etc.

she is strong.

america is populated with millions of strong women--and men, however they hover behind strong women--

and now that cindy has shown us that nothing "bad" of any real merit happens to antiwar activists--at least for now--it is our time to take her place when she is called elsewhere, in this case to help her mother heal.
