Reply #93: She is a mother

She also has lived under a dictatorship.

No one is saying that Cindy doesn't have a right to say whatever she likes against Bush, in fact I encourage her to do so, instead of losing focus. But personal suffering doesn't make one qualified for office. And I disagree with this new version of history that makes Cindy, alone, the peace movement or gives her sole credit for the polls turning against the war. Bush and the rising death toll did that more than anything else. Cindy made it personal, she put a face on the numbers and her actions in Crawford were extremely effective activism. What she has done since then and whether it has been effective for the movement is another question. Especially the idea of her running for office.

And lets remember that Cindy only became an anti-war activist when she had a personal loss. Most of us were out in the streets before the invasion even began. Millions marched around the world. The antiwar movement didn't start with Cindy.
