this reminds me very little of the time when I was in college (1970 or 1971, at Yale) and the college workers went on strike. I typed up a leaflet (which I probably should have mimeographed or dittoed) and then put on the bulletin-board of my dorm, supporting the workers. Some other student wrong a harrangue against the workers. Mine made a big impression -- because, unlike the response, it was signed.

Taking a courageous stand (hah), I put a few signs on the back of my pickup truck: Yet Another Opposed to of Lebanese Red-Blooded the Israeli Children All-American Murder Conservative When I got back to my truck after parking it, someone had written two post-it notes and placed them on the last sheet of my protest. The notes said: ARE YOU OK WITH RADICAL MUSLIMS KILLING YOUR AMERICAN CHILDREN? IF NOT, THANK ISRAEL FOR DOING OUR DIRTY WORK! Dear Anonymous: I agree that the work that Israel is doing in Lebanon is indeed "dirty", and quite shameful. I oppose the Israeli attack on Lebanon for two primary reasons: one, because it is an immoral, illegal, and utterly unjustified attack against civilians; and two, because it will undoubtedly greatly increase the likelihood that American children are killed by radical Muslims. So, Mr. or Ms. Anonymous, if YOU are ok with putting our children at further risk from people driven to a rage for our support and crucial assistance to Israel in its murderous, heinous, and cowardly attack, thank Israel indeed for increasing the number of terrorist recruits by untold magnitudes.
