...would be welcome in the world of the RWingers. Beyond that...I think you're just plain wrong. Marches and protests are a constant reminder of unjust wars and unnecessary death, destruction and poverty.
- You seem to be saying that we should base our political strategies on how the RWing media will react. This type of thinking has put the Democratic party in the minority and divided us into camps.
- There's no disputing that marches and protests helped put an end to the Vietnam police action. And of course the corporate media and RWingers won't like it. That goes without saying.
- But it's dangerous thinking to suggest that we should sit back and wait for soldiers to rebel. When democracy, free press and governmen fail...only the people can make it right again.
