There's an interesting thing going on over at The Guardian. They've run an article instructing Britons what they might be able to do to influence the elections here in the U.S. They've encouraged their readers to write letters to the people of Clark County, Ohio, and they're printing some of them. I've read these three, and the sentiments ring true for me. I like this quote, from Richard Dawkins:
"Now that all other justifications for the war are known to be lies, the warmongers are thrown back on one, endlessly repeated: the world is a better place without Saddam. No doubt it is. But that's the Tony Martin school of foreign policy [Martin was a householder who shot dead a burglar who had broken into his house in 1999]. It's not how civilised countries, who follow the rule of law, behave. The world would be a better place without George Bush, but that doesn't justify an assassination attempt. The proper way to get rid of that smirking gunslinger is to vote him out."
