While I was in Seattle this weekend I picked up a copy of the alternative weekly, The Stranger. Looking through it, I found a surprisingly good piece on the futility of anti-war efforts. Here's an excerpt:
"If you want to feel good and sanctimonious and smug in your moral superiority, or if you've got an overpowering need not to feel alone in your alienated loserhood, go protest tomorrow about how evil American policy is. Just don't tell yourself you're advancing the cause; there's nothing mainstream American culture hates more than a moralizing lefty, especially post-9/11."
