'I don't think anyone will be happy about bombing somewhere they see being protected by North Americans or Europeans,' he said.

"From up here you all look like targets to me," --motto of the USAF pilots.

I see that the competition for the 2003 Darwin Awards is off to a fast start.

You've obviously never met me.

What a racist statement.

Ummmmmm... We once flattened - no, make that flattened and incinerated - entire cities full of blond, blue-eyed folk as white as Robert Byrd's sheets. And the Germans put up a helluva lot more fight than Iraq is going to, human shields or no.

[11th Earl of Mar]

Its time that we call on the Alec Balwins and Barbara Streisands of the US to fulfill their 2000 campaign promise and leave America.

And why not give them one way tickets to Iraq to be human shields!

[MinuteGal]

"Anti-war activists will leave London next month to act as human shields........."

Sorry, you morons, the war will either be on or over by then. But you can still go afterwards with your brooms and dust pans to sweep up what's left of the floors at Saddam's palaces.

Should Saddam be overthrown while these shields are in country the Iraqis will rip them apart.

Let's tell them to wave their laser pointers so we'll know where they are and can avoid them.

yankeedame, you picked the same line I did to respond to. This is what came to my mind:

"It will be kind of hard to identify you from the nosecone of a cruise missile."

Nichols . . aims to gather scores of volunteers together in London and lead the convoy . . . across Europe, holding rallies in various capital cities and collecting other human-shield demonstrators along the way . . . via Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Zurich, Milan, Sarajevo, Istanbul and Syria to Baghdad.

Well, if they're going to do this right, they need an old school bus, cassette players hooked to huge speakers, many copies of Truckin' by the Dead to play over and over and . . .

Costume trunks full of fringed suede vests, ratty jeans, beads . . .

I hope they remember to pick up Hunter Thompson and Ken Kesey (is he still alive? my memory fails me . . .). No road trip is complete without a stoned writer to document it all.

[fire_eye]

Nichols is willing to put his own life on the line to stop a war. 'In going to Iraq I understand that I will likely not survive a US invasion,' he said.

sigh...

I hate the thought of any Marine, however misguided, getting killed by friendly fire.

But if in so doing he takes a few thousand nose-ringed, goateed, sprout-eating Sandalistas with him, I'd say he deserves a medal...

[capitan_refugio]

Along that line of thinking, I believe the "human shields" should wear some sort of international symbol on their clothing - something that would identify them - like three concentric red circles.
