[From One - Many]

human shields.....????
Israel you have now entered a free fire zone, fire at will.

[pointsal]

Are these folks open to suggestions for this test of will power?

[JerseyDvl]

Why bother? Hezbolla has been doing this for many years now.
Just ask the women and children of Qana.

"Syrian intellectuals and activists have come out in favour of a proposal by their Egyptian counterparts to persuade top cultural Arab and international figures to act as 'human shields' for civilians under Israeli attacks in Lebanon. Promoters ..."

Oh my! So many nominees, such little time.
I nominate Kofi Annan and Jimmy Carter for "human shield" duty!

[massadvj]

MY NOMINATION: CINDY SHEEHAN.

Arab Culture So Bland Even Islam Wants To Destroy It
Syrian spokesmen said today...

[Republicus2001]

Here we go. I nominate Mother Sheehan.

[massadvj]

[Republicus2001]

how about Kofi Anan?

[N. Theknow]

Just the sort of thing Rachel Corrie would love to get involved in.

But her last protest against Israel left her a little flat.

[coincheck]

but she thought that caterpillers were so cute...... oh wrong caterpiller.

[DoctorMichael]

.....international figures to act as 'human shields'.....

I nominate........

[Taiku]

Syrian intellectuals and activists have come out in favour of a proposal by their Egyptian counterparts to persuade top cultural Arab and international figures to act as 'human shields' ...

I guess Omar Khayyam is going to lead the effort.....oh wait, he was the LAST contribution to culture the Arabs have ever made, not necessarily the "top" one......

[saquin]

Promoters of the campaign say that, since the Israelis, fearing negative publicity, are not likely to target them, the famous personalities will be able to guarantee the aid consignments get to the needy the weapons get to Hezbollah.

Fixed it.

[dfwgator]

Paging Cindy Sheehan.

--"Syrian intellectuals?" -- "top cultural Arab figures?"
OK, I give up, who are they? :)

[Cheburashka]

Al Franken, Cindy Sheehan, Michael Moore ( who might actually work out as a human shield, it could take longer to get through him than the U.S. Army took getting through the Siegfreid Line), Dan Rather, Katy Couric, Mark Morford, Janeane Garofalo Harry Belafonte, Danny Glover...

The list goes on.

Ah. The entire active member list of Democratic Underground. ATTENTION, LOUSY FREEPER TROLLS!!! Get yourselves tombstoned fast!!!

[SunkenCiv]

To be a human shield, wouldn't one first have to be human?

[Slings and Arrows]

IIRC, Omar Khayyam was Persian, not Arab.
