Found on qHate.com, a Kuwait-centered group blog:
While flipping through the channels last Saturday night trying to pick up news on the war, I came across a show that was teaching kids about the conflict. It looks like the show (or segment) is called Kodomo Nyusu (Kid's News). They were using toy props and cartoons to show a trio of very glum-looking kids what was happening in Iraq. It was too bizzare to pass up, so I grabbed my camera and started snapping photos.


Also:
Conversations seem to run something like this:
"Saddam was wrong, Bush is should remove him. Bush was wrong. No UN. Saddam is standing up against the greatest power. The war should be done, but the poor souls..american and iraqi."
People just mumble.

A pre-war blog entry from Josh Marshall about "the right and wrong kind of antiwar protests": "It’s not about stopping the war. It’s about what comes afterwards."

My local alternative newsweekly on mainstream dissent: "And while protesters by the thousands get arrested in San Francisco and elsewhere, and Code Pink keeps beating its drum to rally the young and the progressive, it is this movement, the one gaining momentum among the middleweights of the political and military establishment, that has the greatest potential to put mainstream America on board the antiwar wagon."

And a health article on home front stress: "Regardless of what's driving a person's need to watch the war, experts say it can be helpful to turn an obsession into a constructive motivation, by looking for other ways to express your feelings. 'Taking action -- no matter how small -- is one way to overcome fear and anxiety, and make you feel that you can make a difference,' Cooke says."
