> [@](#): > > These people aren’t helping you publicize the anti-war message. They are discrediting it. Bingo. They think they’re sending a “message” - but the message is that “very silly people oppose the war.” In particular I object to the idea that “women are willing to be vulnerable for peace” - I wonder how many kuwaiti, croat and serbian women endorse that concept? I thought feeling secure was a pretty basic requirement for being at peace… Actually, I also wonder how many people are actually willing to strip naked in Washington DC in January. Especially men. _Honest! It doesn’t normally shrivel like this!_:eek: ---

That was my first thought too! January?? Boy, am I shallow. **Hickory** , your posts are dead-on. Yes, I still have misgivings about what might happen. My baby brother is a reservist and is just waiting to be activated. But even I have not been convinced by the peaceniks. And women stripping naked to stop the war on a man who enlists professional rapists in his jails…it’s jaw-dropping.
