ESSAY
"The American Approach to Dissent"
Categories
Excerpt (first and last two sentences)
"Politicians,
military officials, media correspondents, and artists all have criticisms about
the war. However, these criticisms most often derive from anonymous sources in
news reports....
...To keep democracy, the American government and public must learn to
better tolerate dissenting opinions even on sensitive issues such as the war.
Who knows, the minority just might have a good point."
