Cindy Sheehan’s experience as the mother of a deceased veteran of Iraq gives her no more credibility as a geo-political critic than Jeffrey Dahmer’s experience gives him credibility as a food critic.

It gives her a forum, but credibility comes from life experience, education, or professional status. It appears Ms. Sheehan has none of these in the area of domestic or international politics or the war on terror.

She can speak, perhaps even credibly, all she wants to a mother’s pain at the loss of her child. She can opine on any other issue but her opinions alone make her no more credible than mine validate me.

An individual’s opinions are validated by that individual’s experience in the relative area. While Albert Einstein has earned credibility for his opinions on the physical universe, I don’t think one could trust his credibility in the area of memory enhancement.
