I'd like to contrast Jonathan Schell's words -- at the very least, the stirring conclusion to his essay:
We--that is, we, the peoples of the earth--have examined the case for war against Iraq and rejected it. We have stepped forward onto the streets of our cities and looked at ourselves, and have liked what we saw. We know our will. Now we must act. We can stop the war.
And what was Bush's typically arrogant (and ignorant) response regarding those ten million people the world over?
Size of protest — it's like deciding, well, I'm going to decide policy based upon a focus group.
Meanwhile, on another front...
