MY FELLOW young Americans, the evidence is mounting that this war we are fighting in Iraq is not a ''just" war. No, this is a dirty fight, and we're in it for the long haul. But I guess that's the problem -- ''we" are not in it at all.
''We" are here in our land of iPods and cellphones, luxuriating in our apathetic comas while our soldiers are over there.
I know what you're thinking. You have that magnetic yellow ribbon on your SUV, and, boy, if that is not uber-effective I do not know what is. But let me ask you, if you'd just put your Podcast on pause and cellphone on silence for a moment, is this all enough?
Two wars ago, during the Vietnam disaster, there was Generation Activist. The youth of America rallied against ''the man." How did they do it? They didn't have e-boards or e-mail for that matter.

Because they're really Generation Stupid
>>Yes, E-Marches are the newest way to protest your government. All it takes is a double click and you will be part of a simulated march on Washington.
Everybody type now! One, two, three, four, we don't want your dirty war!
>>Victoria A. Bonney is a senior at Endicott College

And that little line resulted in a Genuine Laugh!
I was laughing as I was reading this today (yes, I read
both the Boston Herald AND the Boston Globe everyday) as I had hot and sour soup and lo mein in
a Chinese restaurant here in Beverly. Reminded me of when
I got an email from a moonbat friend of mine (well, we have
other interests in common like baseball, travel, and radio)
urging me to take part in a cyber-protest about the upcoming Iraq war. One of those Fw: Fw: Fw: things.
I told him,
no, I would not be taking part but it was nice to know
that he felt Saddam was such a swell guy and I'll bet
Saddam was glad to know he was getting such good support
here in America.
A letter to the editor in response, pointing out why you don't see those massive anti-war protests these days like we did in Vietnam: there's no draft!
