Medea Benjamin, wearing her T-shirt that read "No War On Iraq," shouted at President Bush and got her face in IBD (A1, Aug. 26). Overall, she just wanted to be heard, and this was her way of making contact.

I would wear T-shirts bearing statements that millions of Americans only think but would never utter out of fear of offending the politician, the immigrant, the quasi-American who has become soft and weak due to political correctness.
