If a major war breaks out in Iraq, the first thing Rev. Stuart Fitch plans to do is pray, sending love to everyone from Saddam Hussein to President Bush. Then he'll call his congregation to church for a service.
And then, perhaps, the 78-year-old Episcopalian clergyman will get himself arrested.

And they were bloody well willing to pay the price tag associated with such acts.
The Boston Tea Party is the most famous example.
And if the party-hearty crowd had gotten caught, they would've gotten, at a minimum, several years in gaol for destruction of private property, sedition, and other assorted criminal acts.
Do you know the definition of 'sedition'? Sedition is the act of rebelling against lawful authority.
Which the US government is.
According to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, authority is given by the consent of the governed.
Which has, in fact, been given. And that is only in the Declaration, not the Constitution.
Peaceful protest is, by definition, a constitutionally protected act.
Destruction of property is NOT peaceful. Deliberately disrupting military operations of the duly constituted authority is NOT peaceful.
I think mandible is a refugee from raisethefist.com :o)
Being cool and trendy, with a bunch of piercings and a job at Starbucks doesn't make you wiser than everyone else.
Jeez, Chancellor, did you have to use the flying piledriver move AND smack him with the folding chair?
Because they are hate personified, Steve. You arrogantly believe that since attacking and slaughtering innocents does not fit your belief system, that it won't fit theirs. This is utter nonsense. You might as well refuse to believe that the Japanese Army raped NanKing ... where they slaughtered many times more people than they lost in Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined, and far more viciously... because they have no rational reason for doing so.
You're a fool, and an enabler.
Look at the suicide bombings, beheadings, enslavements, burnings, mustard gasings, abusive class systems, rapes, church grenadings, holy site defilings, schoolchildren bombings, and shootings in Indonesia, the Phillipines, Nigeria, Sudan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Israel, etc., that have been accelerating for the past decade... then come back and tell us how rational these slaughters have been... then you will have the answer to why North Korea and Iraq would attack.
Ever notice that the clueless lunatics, be they hard right, Libertarians or anarchists never offer up a positive vision?

I will just have to wait until I am wise like you. [/sarcasm]
Shooting protestors peacefully blocking the entrance to a military base is just plain immoral.
Anti-Americanism is NOT dissent and disrupting our military is NOT free speech. It's called aiding and abetting the enemy (a.k.a. treason)
Thumbing his nose at us is not justification for war. There is no revealed evidence of Saddam funnelling money to Al Queda.
I would not execute someone for blocking the entrance to a military base.
Once we invade Iraq, then I can no longer protest our foreign policy...
I think not!
If North Korea or Iraq attacked us, then we would invade and destroy them. They know that and will not attack us.
You're a fool, and an enabler.
Right....
Look at the suicide bombings, beheadings, enslavements, burnings, mustard gasings, abusive class systems, rapes, church grenadings, holy site defilings, schoolchildren bombings, and shootings in Indonesia, the Phillipines, Nigeria, Sudan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Israel, etc., that have been accelerating for the past decade... then come back and tell us how rational these slaughters have been... then you will have the answer to why North Korea and Iraq would attack.
And when did the North Koreans last attack us? How about Iraq?
