The Bryan-College Station Eagle - Journalist Cronkite warns against potential war

"Cronkite said he fears Americans are learning less and less about what their government is doing, and worse, they do not seem to care.

He cited recent presidential elections that have seen less than half of registered voters go to the polls. The result has been leaders who are chosen by about a quarter of the electorate.

“That means we don’t have a democracy,” he said. “We’ve got an oligarchy here, not a democracy. Our democracy is in some danger if we don’t concentrate on educating the populace.”"

Walter Cronkite is worried about what unilateral action on Iraq could mean to the world.  He's even more worried about the fact that his fellow American's don't seem to care.
