<< More Conservative Crackup | Main | Polls: UN not Bush Should Rebuild Iraq >> March 28, 2003Headline Says ItNew Yorkers most affected by Sept. 11 least likely to support war This war is being fought largely in the name of 911 victims, yet those who were victimized or have family and friends who were, are the least likely to support the war. And for good reason. They know this whole enterprise is an obscene hijacking of their tragedy for ulterior aims by corporate and military opportunists. The war descrecrates their losses to enrich a medley of defense contractors and others who look to loot Iraq and extend US military power. And they know that this war is only increasing the likelihood of terrorism and more personal losses. And, possibly most of all, having lost their loved ones to mass death from the sky, how could they not be appalled at the US killing hundreds of innocent Iraqis with air-delivered bombing runs?

Let's assume all that gives me a right to an opinion and ask how many of the patriotic supporters of this war are planning to bundle up their families and take them to a population center some time soon.

Posted by: Patrick Nielsen Hayden at March 28, 2003 01:18 PM It's no surprise that NYC is, with San Francisco, the city that has had the biggest marches against the war.
