The two thoughts are not necessarily related - though they could be. In other words, if Cindy S. did not exist, would there be this tiring of the war. I think there would be. Thus, I question her relevancy or at least her replaceability.

I agree... I don't think Cindy S. has a lot to do with the current feeling in this country. I think average Americans are FINALLY waking up to the fact that they were lied to and that thousands are dying because of the lies. I think this would have happened eventually, with or without Cindy S.

BTW... there was a large anti-war protest here in Seattle over the weekend.
