There's something that really upsets me about this antiwar resolution: How do proponents know that their resolution is supported by a majority of the citizens of Minneapolis? If it is not why, then why should the council cave in to the demands of a special interest group. The polls (if you can believe them) show that a majority of Americans support the war if the Administration can produce evidence of weapons of mass destruction. If anti-war activists don't accept this version of reality, then why don't they follow my suggestion and present the council with a petition signed by Minneapolitans who support a resolution. When we opposed the War in Vietnam we went to the people first, not to the city councils. That's where the power is...remember? Michael Atherton Prospect Park TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1.
