Cindy and her son

The New York Times has an article on Cindy Sheehan.

It's a typical background story save for two interesting paragraphs.

1) It seems as she is the only person in her entire family that has gone off the deep end. Not even her husband, separated from her "as a result of the war, and of her activism." And even though they are both Democrats, she is "more radicalized." Her husband "agrees with the philosophy...but not the intensity." That's code for he thinks she's gone off the deep end.

and 2) a soldier came to "challenge her view that there is nothing good about the war." In the end, she said that they both wanted "the troops to come home as soon as possible...the difference is our definition of 'soon.'"

And really, that's the the most interesting part of the article, isn't it? A soldier telling a woman who's protesting to bring soldiers home that it's worth it.
