24 February 2003: "The Stranger on Iraq 01"

I live about an hour south of Seattle, WA; in Seattle, there is a free weekly paper called The Stranger. This week's feature is an article by Neal Pollack urging both pro- and anti-war writers to "Just Shut Up"
I enjoyed it.

Also enjoyable was the piece "Sherman's March", in which the author—Josh Feit, who is actually opposed to the war—relates his experience of the protests in Seattle, adding:
"I Went to the Antiwar Protest Looking for the Dumbest Protester. I Found Him: the Keynote Speaker."
Good stuff.
Actually, I respect Feit's stance on the war (though I don't agree with him) mainly because he attempts to bring something more to the discussion than the default "War is Bad"; he's actually thought about the issues. Sadly, this appeares to be a rare trait on both sides of the debate.
