No Replacement For Displacement

"When I said the Arab Street, that wasn't what I meant."

John Dingell held a town meeting today in Dearborn, saying he hadn't decided on going to war, and asking his constituents to help him decide. Don't expect to see any of this at the Howell Raines Gazette:

Dingell, D-Dearborn, has said he is undecided about whether to support a pre-emptive strike against Iraq by the United States. Many students had to stand out in the hall, because they could not squeeze inside.
To gauge the tenor of the crowd, Dingell asked for a show of hands.
"How many people support Saddam Hussein?" The crowd remained still.
Dingell then asked, "Is anybody against him?" They erupted into applause and cheering, many standing and shouting cheers in Arabic. Some waved their prayer beads in the air.
