Reader comment on item: Op Eds Now More Central in War than Bullets
in response to reader comment: If it is true, we have already lost
Submitted by Jaladhi (United States), Oct 19, 2006 at 15:38
I hope you are right. I also believe that common public has more sense and intelligence than the so called experts, PC media and university professors who trying to lead astray our citizens.
And yet, if we are dependent on Op Ed pages to win this war then nobody can help us. These "psuedo-intellectuals" could not find their way out of a paper bag let alone win any war in the real world.
