Sirs:
I was dumfounded to read the following AP article (byline Matt Curry) in this morning's Dallas Morning News:
http://www.dallasnews.com/texassouthwest/ap/stories/AP_STATEGS_0567.html
Note that, despite a title that implies monolithic opposition ("Texans of Iraqi descent decry march toward war"), the reporter cites a grand total of _two_ Iraqi-Texans to support the thesis.
I was further dumfounded to discover, with a simple Google search, that the key source cited in the article (Hadi Jawad) is an activist in two extreme-Left groups (American Muslim Alliance and Coalition in Solidarity with the People of Iraq) that have formed coalitions with extreme anti-semitic groups such as the Nation of Islam. Even more curious: it appears Jawad is not Iraqi, but was born in Pakistan.

Oddly, Jawad is characterized in the article with the rather bland designation of "peace activist."
If you in the media are struggling to understand why we dopes in flyover country hold you in utter disregard, you need look no further than this sad little shred of agitprop masquerading as a "news story." If Mr. Curry and his headline writer wish to write Op-Eds, please reassign them to the appropriate department.
Sincerely,

PS - Given a bit of time, I am confident I can locate two Right Wing extremists who would like to drop an atomic bomb on Paris. Would you please interview them, and run the story with the headline "Americans support nuclear annihilation of France"?
