It is probably one of THE most important issues of the day yet so many rate it in the mediocre range. Gosh, there are anti-war demonstrations in Washington, just like the liberal-dominated 1960's! Well, maybe not quite so many protestors but you'd never know it by the media coverage, you'd think these were bigger than the Vietnam protests! The fact is that the anti-war movement in the US is barely on life support but for the overblown media coverage of tiny events like Cindy Sheehan's inconsequential and incoherent demonstration against President Bush. Nobody cares except for a few left-wing zealots (most of whom actually ARE American journalists) who would protest ANY war (except one started by Bill Clinton) and ANYTHING George Bush has done. The shameful truth is that while they broadcast daily the body count of American Servicemen, no such body count was even recorded when Clinton went into Kosovo, in similar defiance of the United Nations. How quickly they forget. What sickens me is the tone of "alright, another 5 Americans killed! Man, I can't wait to get to 2,000! How 'bout you? " by the American press and the liberal wing-nuts. I'm not crazy about the War in Iraq. But, I much prefer IT to the lame-ass reaction of Clinton whose blustery rhetoric was as empty as his soul turned out to be. "We'll bring those responsible to justice! " he assured us, and promptly did absolutely nothing because the stupid poll numbers wouldn't budge. Now, in contrast, you have an American President who has unleashed the American Military on those who slaughtered so many innocents on 9/11/01 and in a dozen other incidents under Clinton's watch. The daily casualty count should be a reminder of what dangerous times we live in, what a murderous and vile enemy we face (who kill innocents and behead hostages) and how desperately they would love to bring the carnage to our own shores and conduct it here. But no, it's used as a tool to weaken the will of those enjoying the safety provided by the sacrifice of those brave soldiers in harm's way. Keep protesting, useful idiots, and keep publicizing the body count. Great journalism.
