cny, For her to think that what she is doing is going to make a difference is sick. She is just trying to make a spectacle of herself.

If she was just trying to make a spectacle of herself wouldn't it be easier to wear one of those funny little hats and paste a disciple look on her face at a political rally?

She says she has a political purpose. I suspect she has more on her mind than just making a spectacle of herself but maybe you have some greater insight into what people are really thinking.

As far as whether her actions outside the Bush "ranch" will make a difference; who knows? I think that anything that keeps the blood cost of this Iraqi adventure in the news does make a difference. I suspect that those who want to maintain whatever public support still exists for the war are not too happy about her protest.

I don't accept that "for her to think that what she is doing is going to make a difference is sick." As I said, maybe I'm missing something. Ed
