Do I think the ACLU would drop the case had there been other religious symbols on the original monument? No, I don't. But I'm not convinced they would have an easy time winning that argument int he first place.
Yes, I rephrased your question, because at this point, adding or subtracting symbols is immaterial - the case is afoot as it is. Arlington Cemetery is an entirely different matter than this particular case, and those differences change the calculus.
As I said, I'd like to know the rationale behind the 1999 denial of a Buddhist addition - that might shed light on this case, as the decision to sue came
after that denial.
