Dear Dr. Michaelian,

Thank you for sending YellowTimes your article entitled, The Dragon and its
Shadow on 12/13/02.  The article was worthy of being printed except for the
fact that we felt it was a little too long and encompassing.  If you care to
send us another article, try to make it about two pages and hammer out a
single theme which revolves around fewer points.  Some of us felt that your
solution of trying to ^Ñhurt^Ò the warmongers by boycotting their products was
not feasible--something like giving up motorized transportation and then being
unable to get to work to earn a living.

Now if the state of Mexico were to stand up and be counted against the US and
its government, this would be a much more effective solution.

Freelance writing contributions are always welcome but they need to compete
for available space with not only the YT staff writers but also the dozens of
other ^Ñguest writer^Ò contributions which arrive daily.

We appreciate all submissions of articles here at YellowTimes and thank you
for your continued interest in what is published at YellowTimes.

Walter

Reply to Walter Brewster,

Dear Walter,
  Thank you for considering my article for publication. I will take up most of your advice.
However, I must disagree on one point.  The Bush administration is more concerned about
the movement on Wall Street than the mass anti-war movements in the streets or the human
shields. A protest such as changing ones investments temporarily from American to, say,
Asian investments, will, in my opinion, have a much more profound effect on stopping the
war than street demonstrations. So what if we have to go to work on a  bicycle for a few days?
It is a sacrifice (or a luxury) that may well be worth the cost.
Sincerely, Dr. K. Michaelian.
