Why we're at war

Atrios had a good bit up yesterday about who's responsibility this fiasco is. With all the talk about Cindy Sheehan, you'd think she was the first person in America to question our war in Iraq, the first mother of a fallen soldier to question the wisdom of violence. I know that among the hundreds of thousands that marched against this war even before it began, there were many like Sheehan, folks who'd lost loved ones to past conflicts and couldn't bear to see that happen to someone else. It's because no one in the media gave voice to those people that Bush has to contend with Sheehan.

... and Atrios has more on the media's responsibility.
