Poor Kangaroo Jack

Thomas Friedman and Amos Oz have two good opinion columns in the New York Times today. Friedman supports war against Hussein even though he dislikes the Bush's government's handling of the crisis. Oz opposes war -- and gives good reasons (no, he doesn't think its about oil) -- but worries about the anti-war movement's anti-semitism.

Blogger Ken Layne posted an interesting satire on protest counting. Of course, numbers don't make a cause right (or wrong) -- and it's even harder to estimate protest crowds that come from inflated estimates. But the highest estimates (1.5 million) suggest that no more Americans protested the war over the weekend than went to see Kangaroo Jack (which bombed at the box office). Four million went skiing or snowboarding, 46 million ate at McDonald's, and 200,000 went to the Daytona races.
