Andrew Sullivan notes that now that the war has begun, some protesters have really set a new high standard for sincere, thoughtful, persuasive protest:

Then there's this story about a puke-in in San Francisco. Yes, a puke-in. Hey, guys, why not just start defecating on the sidewalks? Here's what I don't quite understand: If you're trying to persuade mainstream Americans that this war is wrong, why do you stop rush-hour traffic, rely on school kids playing hookie and set up a public mock-vomitorium? I guess asking obvious rational questions of these people is pointless.

Yeah, with many it is.
