Iraq War Forum -- is it time yet? Where's the outrage?
I have floated this from time to time, to very little positive response. I am truly sickened by the war. Everyday is a new low, and today New Yorker is reporting credibly via Sy Hersh, that we have already started against Iran.

Where is the concentrated outrage? Should we have an Iraq forum, where we can share information and antiwar strategy?

3. Maybe not a leader but moral outrage ...
It seems to me that the Iraq War is the moral and political issue of our time -- like South Africa in the 80s or segregation in the US in the 1950s. I can't believe we have a forum for Gaming and for Gardening, but not for the Iraq War.

4. misunderstood
your original post, thought it was about a national forum not a Du forum

I agree it is silly that there is not one here on Du

2. plenty of outrage here....
I wonder whether it's best to segregate Iraq war discussion in a forum, however, rather than in LBN and GD. An Irag forum would have the advantage of helping war related discussion stay on the front forum page for longer than it typically does in either of those other forums.
