Sorry. If America is going to suceed in the War on Terror then we need to be as resolved as we were in the Civil War or WWII, perhaps more so.

This kind of disgusting public display is unacceptable. I don't care if it makes her feel better, or helps her deal with her grief or whatever other kind of psychobabble we can associate with it.

The War on Terror is not about assuaging her feelings - it's about saving our country from savages trying to destroy it.

Every time she marches in a parade with America's enemies, everytime she grandstands to get on TV in order to undermine our security she does a little to undo the valiant deeds her son accomplished.

She is scum, plain and simple.

She may be scum, a plant, anti-war or whatever. Or, she may just be a mother who lost a son in war.

You will never win support for a war by attacking one perceived as a grieving mother. What do you suggest - haul her out, lambast her publicly, have a mug shot made of her?

Or, do you just allow her to be escorted out and say nothing? I choose this.

She has given her blood for this country same as her son. She deserves respect and the benefit of the doubt. Sorry you prefer to attack her. How very noble.

Another point - are you saying that she should be muzzled after paying the total price for freedom? Her son died for that freedom and if she chooses to lambast the world because she had to pay that price at least give her a little bit of leeway as she makes this walk in her life. She will come to her senses or not - but her fellow Americans have treated her with compassion no matter where she stands politically.

In other words - be thankful you don't walk in her shoes and as soldiers are allowed for their wounds to heal, we must allow the mothers/fathers to heal their wounds without further attack.
