Charlie Wolf, the great London-based radio talk show host, just emailed me with what sounds like a fine idea (that seems to be making the rounds): Americans this week should stain one finger with ink to show their support for the brave, pro-democracy Iraqis who stood up to the murderers, ignored the threats and defied death, to determine their own future.

Whaddya say Cornerites? Wouldn’t you like to give Robert Fisk and Michael Moore the finger?
