Good Idea! I hope this skank can round up about 50 or 60,000 more of her yuppie friends to go over with her.

[TheBattman]

If she hates America even more than Saddam - she needs to keep her sorry treasonous A$$ over there - She should be barred from ever returning to the US. Revoke her citizenship....

[SeenTheLight]

Good idea. Gather all the scum of the earth in one place. It will make target practice so much easier once we start dropping the bombs...

[ASOC]

Manna, I can appriciate your feelings on what you think is right.

But

When a 2000 pound JDAM goes off with you in the target area -- all your family will have left is this photo and a profound sense of loss - there will not be enough to even do a DNA match from body parts - what is left will be charred.

Maybe a couple of days in the PR to watch some bombing pratice would show these dolts what is GOING to happen when it hits the fan.

A sad Hoo-ah

Pacifism is simply not a workable philosophy. As long as there are truly evil individuals, such as Hitler, Osama bin Laden, Sadam Hussein, Pol Pots, etc., the only result of appeasement will be to allow them to engage in mass murder.

[punster]

However, I believe that a serious case for treason could be made. After all, what she is doing is giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

If we dont kill them in the war, the Iraqi people will finish them off afterwards.

Manna (?) Jo Greene um...remember those tanks in Tiennammen Square?

[Walkingfeather]

Oh my oh my you must have studied under IAGO of OTHELLO fame... Nicely done.

. The longtime environmental and anti-war advocate works for the Sloop Clearwater. She runs the Hudson Valley Sustainable Network, a group supporting environmentally sensitive construction, out of her home.

A pacifist, she said she used to schedule family vacations around marches in Washington, D.C.


Enuf said. One of those.

[Khurkris]

She has the courage/conviction of her beliefs. Good for her. Let her hold those convictions. And then let her hold a .30 cal. whistling in from about 800 meters. Convictions/collateral damage....its a good thing.

Let's get ready for a round of "Darwin Awards"!

[btcusn]

All she needs is a 1 way ticket anyway. She gets in the way, well, at least it was a quick death. Better than what she would get from the Iraq leadership.

[Maelstrom]

I have been repeating over and over again that he who cannot protect himself or his nearest and dearest or their honour by non-violently facing death may and ought to do so by violently dealing with the oppressor. He who can do neither of the two is a burden. He has no business to be the head of a family. He must either hide himself, or must rest content to live for ever in helplessness and be prepared to crawl like a worm at the bidding of a bully.

Hope? Ahhhhh! There's this grifter from Hope that has his finger prints all over messes like this...

[BlueLancer]

"Can somebody find me the actual Hague Convention rules that says that human shields are war criminals?"

Well, I don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for but I think it's just as appropriate ...

4th Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, Part 3, Article 1, Section 28:
"The presence of a protected person (aka civilian noncombatant) may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations."

"I am not defending Hussein," she said. "I abhor his methods as much as anyone."

But you're still effectively lending him aid and comfort, right? Bye-bye, Manna Jo. Rest in Peace.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

K-bar? </IDIOT WRT MILITARY>

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Revoke her citizenship....

Is it true that you can only do that for naturalized citizens?
