re: His comments that Moveon's behavior is juvenile......I understand what he means but what else do they have left. I have written decent letters to my congresspeople, asking hard questions, and get back fluff. Someone else criticized the pink ladies for disrupting the Congressional hearing. What choice did they have? Our congressional leaders are not doing their job, are not asking the hard questions and we are not allowed to ask questions of Petraeus. Are we all supposed to sit quietly at home and go to asleep? It's a conundrum. We want to scream bloody murder and if we do they accuse us of being "crazy radicals". If we take to the streets they accuse us of being nut cases, so nobody takes to the streets. If we calmly send emails and letter to the pols we are ignored. Hell, millions took to the streets during Vietnam all the time, and it didn't work. They shot folks dead at Ohio State. I was in the front lines of the police riot at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago. My friend, I don't have any answers. If I did I would certainly pass them on.
