Of course, it the left wants to change public opinion, we should become investment bankers and convince the public that the war is bad for shareholders.
As far as the Iraq War is concerned, though, the public opinion has already changed. The problem is now different -- the anti-war public opinion is not having impact on policy, so the wars will go on at least for four more years. What to do? One option is like Wojtek's: admit that Iraq is fucked already, and we can't do anything about this, so let's focus on doable domestic policies.

It may not be bad to use a PR firm, except that they are tied to a mindset that may not be conducive to the kind of change we would like to see. I doubt that a PR firm could have invented an authentic Cindy Sheehan.
I haven't been paying close attention to what she's been doing, except I heard that she'll be there in DC on the 17th for the anti-war rally. If some feel that she is no longer authentic, isn't that mainly because she's the same person but no longer a novelty, everyone having gotten used to her? -- Yoshie
