[Peace-discuss] Letter in DI

[C. G. Estabrook]

  That's apparently David's reason for rejecting it.

But you're right about Fox and the war.  Opposition to the war is growing on the 
Right as fast as it declined on the Left [sic].

A letter in the N-G this morning calls for the election of Democrats "who would 
work with Obama to continue moving our country out of ... war."
(I'm not making that up: see for yourself.)

That's a level of self-imposed ignorance against which Christine O'Donnell's 
pales. (Of course, she's a candidate wiccan support...)
