Gold-star mother accomplished her mission

<snip> By the time she broke camp a couple of days ago, the Gold Star mother turned anti-war activist had gained worldwide attention in her quest to meet the man who sent her son into harm's way. I'll wager the evasive commander in chief will rue the day he decided not to invite Ms. Sheehan into his compound for a heartfelt reception and hearing. <snip>

Drug addict and chattering chickenhawk Rush Limbaugh also referred to the Wellstone memorial in deriding Ms. Sheehan and her growing band of supporters as "basically a bunch of miserable, angry people exploiting death." <snip>

Her action made people uneasy, defensive, dismissive, sympathetic,
supportive, and sensitized to the grief of war. Whatever the response, she could not be ignored.

Casey Sheehan's mom wanted people to react to the personal price of the Bush War whether they were kindred spirits, snide critics, or the otherwise occupied leader of the free world. She succeeded.
