" I would have no problem if the fans started a "Bush must go" chant or other appropriate anti-war chant after the anthem. The aggressor ISN'T the country, it is the people that are running the war."

Right on, Ron! I like the idea of a "counter-chant", especially if it focussed on the people running the war, and not the American people themselves. I'm just not sure that the "mass mentality" of a ballpark is likely to produce such well-thought-out diplomatic expressions of discontent. Maybe a few well-intentioned folk musicians leading the show would help!

Either way, it'll take more than boos or songs or chants to "stop the bully" at this point. If there's a way to stop it at all.
