Seattle Times' Analyzes Reactions To Its Iraq Editorials
Seattle Times Columnist James Vesely said in a July 10, 2005 column that, "Praise and condemnation poured like Seattle rain on Times editorial pages for our five-part editorial series "America in Iraq," on the conduct and aftermath of the Iraq war." He added: In a divided nation, a blue state and a red-and-blue region, there is not going to be much accord on anything, let alone a foreign war.
Of the hundreds of e-mail responses, the tidal shift of attitudes toward the war was evident. It comes down to a matter of a belief system: Do you believe the Iraq war has strengthened or weakened the terrorist attacks on the West? On the war in Iraq, including the London bombings, the response for and against was about a draw, reflective of the country. Mr. Vesely said, "There are about as many people against the war as support it, and by logic, against and for the president who commands the war." Here's the entire column.
