A red double-decker bus, carrying a group of international anti-war campaigners, drives by the Ottoman era New Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey, Sunday Feb. 9, 2003. Some 30 members of the human shields group arrived in Istanbul on Friday in a convoy of two red double-decker buses and several cars that travelled by land from Britain. The activists are heading to Iraq to act as 'human shields' to try and prevent an American-led attack on that country. (AP Photo/Str) |

Apparently, they don't want to be associated with removing a dictator who:
1. Uses poison gas on his own people.
2. Allows his populace to starve while he builds dozens of magnificent palaces.
3. To insure compliance, uses torture, including:
--acid baths
--tongue removal
--mutilation with electric drills
--electric shock, and, my personal favorite
--torturing your children in front of your eyes.
4. Invades his neighbors.
5. Promotes worldwide terrorism.
6. Ignores the terms of his Gulf War surrender agreement.
7. Totally ignores his agreed-upon agreement with the United Nations to destroy all weapons of mass destruction, and allow unfettered access to his country, while providing complete documentation of the above, and allowing access in a safe, foreign location to all weapons scientists and their families.
Nah, you wouldn't want to get rid of a wonderful guy like that in your name.
Buttholes!
Ah, the soapily challenged.
Hold on now, don't move. I think I can see him in my rearview mirror.
This is a MUST-READ regarding the latest "activities" of the "Human Shields" (i.e. useful idiots).

The short bus jokes are unfair to those who ride them.
What did they do to deserve the ridicule?
