Reader comment on item: Hugging Iraq's Leaders
in response to reader comment: Get a backbone!
Submitted by twoheroes (United States), May 4, 2006 at 00:14
The backbone isn't the most popular part of the anatomy today, however... The number of hacks and cowards remains the same throughout the history, but this wonderful machine I'm also using right now gave them an opportunity to be heard. Gave them a way to prevail. Watching it all with interest - and the life of resistance to it all makes more and more sense.
