A human shield changes his mind

[epicstruggle]

I wish we could ship all the people who are protesting agains the war to iraq. so they can see first hand what type of life they want the iraqis to continue to live in. If anyone finds out exactly when the footage will be shown on abc please post here. thanks

later,

I wish we could ship all the gung-ho people out onto the front lines, since they want to fight so badly.

By the way, you care about the Iraqis so much, why aren't you out there fighting? Talk is cheap.

I tried to enlist to the navy about 10 years ago, but at the time I was an illegal alien to this country. I was told that I could not join. It actually broke my heart that I could not contribute to the security of this country. I can understand the position of the military, but I would have really liked to join. BTW unfortunatly you dont see the point that we dont want a fight, we offered saddam and his regime plenty of chances to leave without any fighting.

anyways,
later,

During this morning's military incursion to the portion of Baghdad where the Palestine Hotel is, I briefly saw on TV two Iraqi civilians holding a large sign that read:

"Go home human shields, you wankers!"

I haven't seen it replayed, probably due to the use of the word 'wankers', though I don't know why. I hope some of the anti-war activists caught a glimpse of it.
