I think it's really wrong to call any Minneapolitan anti-American for
opposing the war, especially those on this list.

Dissent is as American as apple pie, even if it sticks in a few more
people's craws.

Such rigid rhetoric will only distract from a real discussion of the
issues. And by the way, let's please remember that the war is not a
subject for debate here, only its Minneapolis effects. If war talk pulls
us apart and makes us forget we all strive for a better community,
whatever our opinions, that's a terrible thing.
