Well, we got the last "2" paragraphs of the story in the Metro Section of the Tribune today...

Not everyone was protesting war, however. {name withheld}, 36, of Oak Forest, stood on Devon with a small group of supporters, holding a sign reading, "More Inspectors? Yes: 400,000 of them! Support our troops." Anti-war activists walked by, occasionally cat-calling him.

"We need to get rid of Saddam," he said. "The UN needs to stand up and get a spine."

Those "activists" walking by, was the SINGLE Korean War veteran who we were in a discussion with prior to Mr. Jervis asking for an interview. LOL

Not only that Mr. Jervis published a fairly accurate description of some of the "anti-war" clowns out there:

"Around Pease were men wearing George W. Bush masks, pink-clad protest dancers, jugglers, tuba-playing skeletons, black-masked anarchists, socialists, students, nuns and city officials, some chanting "Hey-hey, ho-ho, Bush's war has got to go!"'

I also read that Democratik Peoples' Republik of Chicago alderman Joe Moore made an embarrassing spectacle of himself - I'm kind of sorry we weren't close enough to hear him.

Looking to see if there's an on-line link right now....... Great to hear there was at least a mention which acknowledged the other point of view (thanks to all the Chi-town FReepers)!
