Chicago City Council against unilateral action in Iraq. So the Chicago Council wants to run our Foreign Policy now? Well, they will just have to get in line behind the Berkeley City Council. They have been running it for years! lindybill@beachtownsrunthings.com

Hello JohnM; The point of protests like these is to underline the fact that a certain sector of the population is discontented with policies. That's certainly a fine old American tradition. And dissent does not carry the responsibility to offer a different way, as Nadine has insisted. It need only say, we ain't going your direction, to the administration, in hopes that, others will hear the protest, join the next one, and the next one, and the next one (whoops, I'm headed into a Tom Paxton song here.) A fine post; thank you for your thoughtful remarks. --fl
