Anti-Iraq War activist Cindy Sheehan gained notoriety during the Bush Administration for her impassioned protests against the conflict following the death of her son in battle.

In a book published in 2006, Sheehan wrote on page 29 about her "time-machine fantasy" of killing President George W. Bush while he was still an infant.

"I often contemplate the 'baby Hitler scenario' when I think of George Bush," wrote Sheehan. "If I had a time machine ... and if I rode in it back to the time when George Bush was a baby, could I kill him and save my son's life and the [lives] of so many other people?"

Sheehan went to note that in this fantasy she always reached "the same conclusion: No. I couldn't kill anyone. Not even a monster."
