thought/question ~ good news/bad news
I've read a few posts recently about what they deem an oddly short supply of protesters against the Iraq war and/or the President. They sound genuinely puzzled and pick their way in bafflement among several explanations. One wonders whether the most obvious explanation is the one that fails to make their lists. To wit: perhaps fewer people oppose the war and the President than they realize and, in fact, perhaps many people actually support both. Even World War II had opponents, after all. The good news is that it may be that in some ways our country has become, at 230, what it was founded to be: a place of many and wildly divergent and passionately held ideas and beliefs.
