Well, this guy's anti-war stance is at least semi-cogent, unlike much of Sheehan's rants. Sheehan is a liability to the Left and the, well, (for want of a better word) legitimate peace movement. They'll silence her if only because she's so ineffectual. Rolling Stone in this sense has become like the Brain after Snowball succeeded in usurping control of the globe--he told Pinky that for once they needed to save the world, if only to have a shot at taking it over the next night.

And surely the peaceniks realize by now that true anti-war sentiment, a la Vietnam, will never materialize unless and until there is a draft (an extreme unprobability)? That's all it was ever about before. There may be a few true idealists, and a couple of fervent Blame-America-Firsters, and a handful of ardent seditionists and traitors, but active opposition to the war is not an issue for most until it directly affects them.

I have a feeling this is just the beginning. They are going to be screaming from now until Nov 2006. We've already seen how the MSM focus on all the bad is affecting polling. They think they see an opening and they are going to do their best to exploit it.
