    DUVALL — Listeners of conservative radio station KVI-AM (570) are going pre-emptive against the peace movement, crashing rallies and overwhelming them with their numbers to where peace demonstrators complain that the informal rules of engagement have been violated. "It seems a little bit like a cheap shot, when they target your time and place," said Dave Meeds, 62, of Monroe, who held a "Power Corrupts" sign this week several hundred yards south of the intersection of the Woodinville-Duvall Road and Highway 203. If nothing else, the encounters are reshaping the protest landscape and in some cases have resulted in conflict....

    NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS (WWLP, March 29, 2003) Police arrested dozens of demonstrators in Northampton yesterday during an anti-war rally. The group was arrested for disturbing the peace and unlawful assembly after blocking traffic in a busy intersection. Many of the anti-war protestors wore all black, symbolizing what they say are deaths of Iraqi civilians and United States soldiers. They marched through the city's center carrying hand made props representing coffins and blood stained flags. Northampton police say that although the group had a right to assemble, arrests were necessary once the protest started to interfere with traffic. In all, police say...

    Being a citizen is not a right, it's a duty.   I have given a lot of thought to the issues arising here within the borders of our great republic due to the current situation taking place in Iraq. While I realize that each and every one of us has the right and the freedom to express our views, there is also a responsibility to express those views in a peaceful and obedient manner that does not incur a monetary and psychological inconvenience to the rest of our society.   These so called "peace protestors" who haven't the slightest clue...

    Rocker Kravitz Releases Peace Song with Iraqi Star By SUE ZEIDLER LOS ANGELES(Reuters) - Rocker Lenny Kravitz released a peace anthem with an Iraqi pop star Tuesday, joining a growing list of recording artists to release protest songs directly to the Internet to bypass a cautious and sometimes hostile radio market. R.E.M., the Beastie Boys, John Mellencamp and former Rage Against the Machine frontman Zack de la Rocha have all released anti-war songs via the Internet in recent weeks. Kravitz issued his song, "We Want Peace," which he recorded last week in Miami with popular Iraqi musical star Kadim Al...

    U.S. Marines Enter Basra to Cheering Crowds -- While U.S. Peace Protestors Engage in a "Gross Out" This is the crazy state of affairs in the world today. It looks to this independent reporter as though the world has been turned upside down. Iraqis cheer U.S. marines in Basra . . . . . While thousands march against the war and their peace demonstrations turn violent in Los Angeles and elsewhere across America. According to a BBC Report this morning the marines entered Basra and were applauded by Iraqis. (March 22, 2003). Similar scenes of open Iraqi support were replayed...

    <p>One of the most convincing arguments for U.S. action comes from the Clinton administration's Iraq expert. Kenneth M. Pollack's new book, The Threatening Storm, provides terrifying testimony. Pollack, former National Security Council director of Gulf affairs, shows how foolish it would be to allow Saddam to remain in power until he's killing Kansans as well as Kurds.</p> <p>Discussing Saddam's 1979 rise to power, Pollack writes that "like his idol Josef Stalin, Saddam Hussein quickly set about purging the party and government of any but the most devoted and non-threatening adherents.</p>

    Protests for peace By Julia Duin THE WASHINGTON TIMES Special Report America's newest anti-war movement, which began as a grass-roots effort bolstered by a cluster of sympathetic Web sites, blossomed this weekend into demonstrations in an estimated 150 cities around the country, including a mass rally in the streets of New York yesterday. Anti-war demonstrators packed the streets north of the United Nations headquarters yesterday, filling police-barricaded protest zones for more than 20 blocks. "Just because you have the biggest gun does not mean you must use it," Martin Luther King III told the demonstrators as he stood before an...
