"Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan said Friday that she's troubled by the death of al-Qaida's top operational terrorist, Abu Musab al Zarqawi, predicting that it will actually make things worse for U.S. troops in Iraq.
"I suspect it's gong to make the insurgency in Iraq worse," she told Cincinnati, Ohio's 9News.
The peace crusader added that the expected increase in violence "will just prove to me that our presence in Iraq is just fueling the violence, fueling the insurgency."
"The killing and the cycle of violence has to stop," Sheehan insisted.
The California pacifist was in Cincinnati to join with the city's Women's Choir for a scheduled "teach-in" for peace.
Sheehan was in New York earlier this week, campaigning against New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, who she called "a little less evil" than President Bush.

Referring to Mrs. Clinton, Sheehan told Democracy Now Radio: "It's time for us to stop holding our nose and voting for the lesser of two evils, because that person might be just a little less evil, but they're still supporting the evil policies of the Bush administration."
