Sheehan Quits Peace Movement

June 1, 2007 | ISSUE 43•22

Cindy Sheehan, who lost her son in Iraq, is leaving peace activism, citing disillusionment with the Democrats and an antiwar movement that "often puts personal egos above human life." What do you think?

This is a huge blow to the antiwar movement. Where are they supposed to find another mother mourning the death of her child?

That's too bad. I had a feeling she was just weeks away from achieving her goal.
