"I'm against picketing, I just don't know how to show it." - Mitch Hedberg.
The lady sounds loony. She's obviously upset and doesn't know what to do when a camera is in her face, so she, like Kat said, uses the attention to further fire-up those against the war, and beef up the defense on those who support it. I imagine she loved her son, but if she really did, she'd let this rest in his honor.
She won't get the war to stop by protesting. Honestly. Did the hippies make the Vietnam war stop? Nope. There's no use, until what's done is done and the end product is what Bush wanted it to be. It's not just Bush who supported war in the first place. Doesn't it have to go through Congress first? Sure, some will say there are loopholes, but I'm saying, you can't blame it all on him. And don't say "I blame the Bush administration" because the people in Congress were more than likely there when Clinton was diddly-daddling with his presidency. (of course, this is my opinion, I'm not saying it's fact) Congress is responsible as well. They have control over how long the troops stay in Iraq.
Aren't the weapons of mass destruction in Syria anyhow?
