As propagandists, opponents of the Iraq War appeared puny, according to report by Bill Weir on ABC. He painted a glowing profile of Shauna Fleming, who started a thank-the-troops movement when she was just 15-years-old. Now a college freshman, Fleming has built an organization called amillionthanks.org that has attracted the official backing of the Department of Defense and subsidies from major cellular telephone providers, who offer free messages for thank-yous from civilians to US military personnel deployed in war zones. Weir implied that Fleming was a pro-war activist, noting that "this is the fifth Thanksgiving since the invasion of Iraq." Meanwhile, anti-war opinion had no similar voice. For those who insist the invasion was a mistake and believe it needlessly put troops in lethal danger, there was no student activist enabling citizens to say sorry. No amillionapologies.org.
