...course, launching quiet, targeted measures does not mean that international ngos and activists should refrain from publicizing the junta's atrocities or stop offering moral support to suffering Burmese democrats. Public-attention campaigns, followed inside Burma through foreign radio stations, give courage to Burmese dissidents. They keep Burma's cause in the world's media. They engage a new generation of human-rights activists around the globe. But moral support alone cannot triumph in a fight against an immoral regime. Putting the squeeze on the generals' cash is different. That would truly be payback...
That's a message the tireless Harberg--who could probably power Texas Stadium if you plugged him into the grid--spreads with zeal. He hosts a weekly radio call-in show and was recently on the TV show Good Morning Texas touting the benefits of an indoor air-quality monitor.

...your question comes from, again, what I think is a mistaken template. You're [asking], What is talk radio going to do if McCain wins and he's sort of one of our guys but isn't? Ah, we've had that with President [George W.] Bush. I mean, go talk to Bush about my attitude on illegal immigration. The thing about Bush that kept his people unified for the most part was the war, and what the Democrats were savaging him with, and trying to secure defeat, wrap it around his throat. That served to unify people...
