Originally posted by Dan Nixon: I am so ashamed of some of these politicians, above and beyond any partisan differences, it makes me ill at times. But as a private citizen it is fine to voice whatever objections to the war immediately and publicly and often. It is unlikely that Al-Jazerra will put you on the cover and if they do, no one will care.
I see what you're saying, Dan, but what difference would it make if only the politicians shut up? Who cares if 535 politicians are silent about the war? Unless you muzzle the public and the press, the jihadis and the insurgents will very quickly find out about our street protests, opposition editorials, and polls showing that a majority of Americans don't support Bush's war.
