DES MOINES — A new campaign to place the Iraq war in the center of Iowa’s presidential caucus races kicked off in Des Moines yesterday. But as often happens, it wasn’t so much the protest that made the story as the reaction to it.

“Seasons Of Discontent—A Presidential Occupation Campaign,” or SODAPOP as its organizers dubbed it, targeted the campaigns of Rudolph Giuliani and Hillary Clinton, taking over their offices in the Iowa state capital and disrupting both campaigns for several hours before a total of 18 people were arrested.
