Cape Town women give peace their pants

A group of Cape Town women have bared witness to their desire for peace, exposing their vulnerability in the face of naked agression.

You could call them fearless. Or you could say they were primarily motivated by the basic human fear of war and violence. But whatever it was that motivated 21 valiant Cape Town women to gather early on a cool morning and bare their bodies for peace, they certainly spelled out their message.

According to the Baring Witness website: "When the first 45 California women were photographed on November 12, 2002, forming the word PEACE with their naked bodies, it struck a deep chord around the world."

Now Cape Town has joined the global chorus calling for peace. On February 1, a group of women lay in the grass and chanted "No War! No War!" as photographer Benny Gool captured them forming the word PEACE and the classic peace sign at the foot of majestic Table Mountain.

Will making fun of these ridiculous leftist gestures ever get old? Go to link for pictures.

The Peace rallies, human shields and such - my freepin thoughts

[PBRSTREETGANG]

What is it with ugly leftists that they have this intense desire to bare their bodies? Couldn't we at least organize "Supermodels For Peace"?

It's sweeping the globe!

From yesterday:

Disrobe to disarm (confused Australian chicks get naked to express like something or whatever)

But this title's a winner, too. Give peace their pants. LOL

This is getting horrible. I've just heard that if war breaks out in Iraq, these women threaten to do the same thing only with close up pictures. And I just bought a new monitor. They're sadistic.

From the article (whatta buncha crap):

The South African government has called on all citizens to oppose the looming war against Iraq, which is being driven by United States President George Bush and supported by British Prime Minister Tony Blair. [Imagine our government doing this]

South Africa will take part in the global day of protest on February 15, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu is one of the featured speakers at a major rally in New York on that day.

Opinion polls show that the majority of South Africans oppose this military conflict, and a survey has found that four out of every five Europeans are opposed to their countries participating in a US-led war on Iraq without explicit backing from the United Nations. [The key words here are "US-led". If we suddenly got that "explicit backing from the UN", would these people shut up, put their clothes back on, and support us? No they would not, and will not.]

Can the naked protests and impassioned speeches make a difference? This is how democracy is supposed to work.[a. Thank God we are not a democracy! b. I will be chuckling the rest of the day over this sentence] The question is, will the leaders who seem hell-bent on destruction listen to the cry for peace?

This was not nice to wake up to....

ALert............
Fox News just reported that the EU has demanded that Iraq cooperate with the weapons inspections. Bandwagon time!

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Sounds like the EU members know Iraq is on quicksand and sinking fast before Powell's speech.

Maybe we could organize a pro-war protest of people with enough clothes on for the weather? (Local news says we're getting snow here tomorrow.) Would a crowd of people in boots, coats, and scarves make the news?
