That's the titled letter Cindy Sheehan wrote as she gives up on her protest. She said, in part:
"I have tried ever since he died to make his sacrifice meaningful," she wrote. "Casey died for a country which cares more about who will be the next American Idol than how many people will be killed in the next few months while Democrats and Republicans play politics with human lives.No matter what we thought of her she is still a mother that lost a son. Sadly, it pains me to say that she does have a point when she says people in this country care more about "who will be the next American Idol" than they do about foreign policy."It is so painful to me to know that I bought into this system for so many years, and Casey paid the price for that allegiance. I failed my boy and that hurts the most."
We can tell you every drunken, high move that Lindsay Lohan makes but how many people can read and comprehend and even act bothered enough to care about foreign policy? Much less, take the time to actually vote.
