    You know, I'm all for people voicing their opinions and believing strongly in causes (that's what this country's all about), but I don't see how anyone could believe this woman ever had any agenda past the ol' ME ME ME syndrome.

    i'm no war protestor, but i can see her reasoning. she did afterall, lose her son.
    i don't have any children so i can't imagine how that feels but people have done crazier things in lesser situations.

    As crazy as this chick is, she actually has somewhat of a point in regards to people caring more about who the next American Idol is. It is pretty pathetic if you think about it. I won't comment on the second part.

    Point taken, but in the time she spent parading around in front of the cameras, trying to make her son's death "meaningful", she ignored, neglected and lost her husband and basically her other kids as well. I understand her grieving for the son who died, but if her intent and focus was for the love of her child, why did she not seem to care much for the ones she had left?

    Plus, when she started cozying up to Hugo Chavez, she lost any credibility she might have had in most people's eyes.
