Julius Lester, one of my favorite bloggers, published a post with an email message from me on his blog. Lester has been wondering why there are no big protests against the Iraq War, and thinking back to the big protests against the Vietnam War. A first post by Lester (link) prompted a response from a reader named Nancy Ewalt (link) which led to my thoughts about why there isn’t any organized protest against the Iraq War. (I guess I wasn’t paying attention, and didn’t notice when he posted this back on August 1.)

Even if you aren’t interested in the topic, you should still check out Lester’s blog. His thoughts about political issues from racism to war to media manipulation are worth reading, and his photos are pretty cool. Link to his blog.
