Advice from vets

An astute reader was upset that I left her hanging about the advice that the IVAW speaker has for activists. Sorry about that.

In a nutshell, the advice was to get out in the streets. And into your congressman's office. Veterans have startd talking to congressional staffers, and their typical reply has been that since the beginning of the war, there haven't been any (many is more accurate) mass marches in the streets. Before the war, many congressmen were listening to the protesters. Now, apparently, the attitude is that we have to finish what we started.

At least that's the attitude on the hill. I should read wonkette more often to see if that's true.
