They are set up to alienate. Personally, a rally against the Iraq war should be just that a single issue event." </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I thought that this rally was much more focused than the last one, which was indeed all over the map. And, finally, some actual antiwar Iraq vets! To me, that was the best part of the rally, watching those young vets in camo on the stage. That really moved me, as did the military families activists. Still, you can't talk about US war in the Middle East without mentioning Israel, esp with Iran in the crosshairs. This war is designed to be regional, if not global. Iraq is only one part of it. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Dennis</DIV></BODY></HTML>
