And what about Iraq?
It’s interesting that the country can have this impassioned discussion about the Imus thing or Anna Nicole’s babydaddy, but not about bring the same attention to Iraq. I don’t think it’s because we aren’t thinking about Iraq or want to be distracted from it, although perhaps that is the case for some. It’s more likely that we feel at a loss to impact the situation at all. In the Imus/Rutgers debate, people can speak up and the companies made decisions accordingly. With Iraq, there have been all kinds of advice and opinions offered up, like, say, the Iraq Study Report, but to know avail. This administration is going to do whatever the hell it wants. That’s not to say that we should just sit passively by and let it happen. I’m just saying that it’s different and much more complicated than having an opinion about the Imus/Rutgers situation.
