This website is holding a vote about "should anti-war/ peace domonstrations
continue now that we are at war?"  The current results are absolutely
pathetic.

This TV station is in Pittsburgh, where polic sprayed people in a march
yesterday because they didn't have a permit- as if the Constitution isn't
enough!

"We should not march into Baghdad. . . .  To occupy Iraq would instantly
shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab world against us, and make a
broken tyrant into a latter-day Arab hero . . . assigning young soldiers to
a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning them to
fight in what would be an unwinnable urban guerrilla war.  It could only
plunge that part of the world into even greater instability."
