An email from Dean Esmay:
I've arranged with the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies to release a special button in support of democracy and human rights in Iraq!
We don't have a lot of time what with the protests beginning this weekend, but we've got the official blessing of the foundation to release the graphic and point people to their pro-Iraqi, anti-Saddam site.
I'm also unofficially (for now) collecting the web site names and URLs of sites that are participating. Please go here to nab the graphics and information.
Also please post about this to anyone who you know runs a web site and get them to use the button--and hopefully add their names to the list in the comments. I recently ran across something on Metafilter about 100 web sites putting themselves in black this week to protest the war. Think we can outdo these pro-Saddam fools? I think we can.
Help spread the word ASAP!

MORE FEEDBACK ON LEFTY SEX
An email just received:
My observation on the sexual habits of women tend to renforce what one of your readers wrote: That non-political women may be more inclined.
I would go on to say that young women, like young men, from 18 to 25 are very active regardless of politics. If anything, lefty women tend to be extremely intolerant of other points of view. So, conservative men should keep their politics private if they want to get some where with a lefty girl. Most girls, after marriage, become more conservative, as the voting of the 2002 Presidential election showed.

EDUCATION
Teachers do make a difference. "The vocabulary of the average American 14-year-old has dropped from 25,000 words to 10,000"
World history textbooks in U.S. classrooms sanitize the problems of Islam when compared to how they often treat Western civilization More here.
Jeff Jacoby has some horror stories of how Leftists destroy high-school education in Massachusetts -- all in the name of "equality" of course. Like the Soviets, they achieve equality not by lifting everyone up but by keeping everyone down.

ELSEWHERE
Useful Fools has a lot of fun photos of his local "Peace" demonstration -- plus pictures of the pro-war anti-demonstrators.
Samizdata agrees with me that libertarianism is a broad church (See my posting of 14th).
Feminist lies about domestic violence are exposed here
Conservative Commentary has some nasty questions for pacifists
No Left Turns has an interesting discussion about Biblical support for individual liberty.
The Wicked one has some good jokes about kids.
Chris Brand looks at the current fashion in psychology of saying that everything we do is the product of the situations in which we find ourselves. He points out that the sort of person we are is at least as important in determining what we will do on any given occasion.
Michael Darby reproduced a speech given in Australia's House of Representatives (Federal parliament) giving support for war with Iraq.
