I don't know. I can't imagine that anyone would want to gain, politically or otherwise, by the death of their child. It is every parents unltimate nightmare, to outlive a child. If I lost one of my children, I don't think I would want to open my eyes on another day, so strong is my love for them. I can't imagine why she is doing what she is doing, but given her circumstances, I'm willing to cut her a heck of a lot of slack.
I feel just as you do SB about just the idea of losing one of my children. God forbid! And I cannot imagine her willingly looking to gain anything politcally from the death of her son. That is why I truly believe that she is not thinking straight and that the sharks around her are using her to further their own agendas and causes. In her doing this, willingly or not, what she is doing is telling the other parents whose sons and daughters are over in Iraq and Afghanastan, risking thier lives and protecting our lives, that their children are just killers and murderers. To say this about the sons and daughters of other parents, our own soldiers, and then in the same breath call the terrorists freedom fighters, is insane. And I really think that she may have gone insane in all of this.
