Faced with increasing criticism from her former supporters, disillusionment with the Democratic party's failure to change the course of the war, a fractured anti-war movement, and other personal reasons, anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan has given up her war protesting activities.
In the essay
"Good Riddance, Attention Whore", Sheehan writes bitterly of a hypocritical Democrat party, an anti-war movement beset by egoism, the accusations of being an attention whore, the loss of her marriage, health problems that have put her in debt and comes to the sad conclusion that her son, Casey 'did indeed die for nothing' and that the America she lives in is not the America she once loved.
Just reinforces my belief that you really can't change the world.
