On 10-26, i did an illustration depicting the word “why” using the names of the 2,000 troops who had, at that time, died in iraq. here on this blog, the feedback from readers, both pro and con was enormous. in response, a young woman, an 11th grader, has created the response above. what do you all think?

The response of the 11th grader is simply awesome. Must go to AJC website (follow URL) to view the graphic. Will be printed in the Saturday, Dec. 31 AJC. (supposedly)

This 11th grader has more common sense than 80% of the readership of the AJC.

Fantastic.

It's wonderful that young people can be so principaled when all around them, adults are acting is such an irresponsible way.

Thank God for this young girl.

Great response! On the AJC site, the comments in response to the 11th grader's drawing are posted; some are very touching, and some are truly, laughably stupid.

And that loon who keeps asking "What noble cause, George?"

Yeah. Only takes a second or two before the crackpots show up with their "OIL N' SUVs" stuff. Lame.

I hope this awesome child is allowed to graduate.

Independent, conservative thought like this is not tolerated in the DNC's Public Indoctrination Centers (Schools).

This 11th grader has more common sense than 80% of the readership of the AJC.

And 100% of Democrats.

As a long time Atlantan, I cannot convey to all of you the disdain I have for the AJC editorial board and Suckovich, the cartoonist.

"...I see a whole army of my countrymen, here, in defiance of tyranny. You've come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight?"
"Against that? No, we'll run, and we'll live."
"Aye, fight and you may die, run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade all the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take away our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!"

William Wallace (at least in the movie)

9/11 was a pivotal event in childrens life.

They will remember it the way many in out age group will remember the Kennedy Assisination.

Their B/S indoctrination is not likely to take hold.

Did you read the one about the freepers?

[Crooked Constituent]

That is the most meaningful piece of art I've ever seen.

[hsalaw]

No, I must not have read that far. What did it say?
