The Resume

    (July 10, 1957- )
    Resides in California
    Co-founded Gold Star Families for Peace
    While stationed in Iraq, her son Casey, 24, volunteered for a mission that was ambushed and left him dead (April 4, 2004)
    Began a vigil to talk to President Bush on August 6, 2005

Why she might be annoying:

    She is embarrassing President Bush and ruining his vacation.
    Pro war pundits see her as an opportunist and troublemaker.
    Many of her friends and neighbors sympathize with her grief but do not support her anti-war view.
    She demands that Bush talk to her for one hour.
    Bush made the statement 'I grieve for every death. It breaks my heart.'
    Bush also said 'I sympathize with Mrs. Sheehan. She feels strongly about her position.'
    She already met Bush as part of a group at Fort Lewis (June 2004).
    While she protests, Bush continues his vacation and Americans die in Iraq.
    During her protest, her husband filed for divorce (August 12, 2005).

Why she might not be annoying:

    Her 24 year old son was killed in the war in Iraq.
    She challenges George Bush's policy of keeping troops in Iraq.
    Her one woman protest has been joined by other moms who lost children in Iraq.
    She has attacked the way recruiters prey on people from poorer areas to join the military.
    She blames mainstream media for ignoring U.S. mistakes such as taking jobs from Iraqis and giving them to outside contractors.
    She pointed out a critical U.S. mistake. Had her son's humvee had adequate armour plating he could have survived the attack.
