Why she might be annoying
She is embarrassing President Bush and ruining his vacation.
Pro war pundits see her as an opportunist and troublemaker.
Many of her friends and neighbors sympathize with her grief but do not support her anti-war view.
She demands that Bush talk to her for one hour.
Bush made the statement 'I grieve for every death. It breaks my heart.'
Bush also said 'I sympathize with Mrs. Sheehan. She feels strongly about her position.'
She already met Bush as part of a group at Fort Lewis (June 2004).
While she protests, Bush continues his vacation and Americans die in Iraq.
During her protest, her husband filed for divorce (August 12, 2005).

She challenges George Bush's policy of keeping troops in Iraq.
Her one woman protest has been joined by other moms who lost children in Iraq.
She has attacked the way recruiters prey on people from poorer areas to join the military.
