"Now, she seems to be regretting her views.

Notice that not one of the quotes she gives from her attackers has any form of a rational argument. She obviously fears not being liked more than she fears being wrong or mistaken."

Well, I don't claim to paying much attention to what this person says, but it seems she is being critical of her readers response. Though she does seem to favor the tone of the hostility from the left- but it's not clear how much value, she places on sugar coated critism opposed to the rude critism from the right. She also seems "aware" that this protest against the war has very little to do with the Iraq situation and more to do with politics- and anyone with half a brain, knows that in terms of foreign policy this is particularly odious.
