6. This is what a mandate looks like...

See the similarity in size between the Kerry crowds & the protest in Baghdad? Funny how truth has a way of shining through & to reveal that most people can tell the difference between right & wrong.

8. This is great - I copied some of the Baghdad protests to my computer

yesterday. I taught Social Psych during the Iraq War and showed my students the Newsweek close-in shot of the Saddam statue scene and the Al Jazeera shot that made clear that very, very few people were present. This semester I can show both of those AND what that area looks like when filled with people. It makes me very, very angry that my students will be shocked.
