These folks are absolute idiots. All you have to do is show them a map of the middle east and ask them to point out Iraq in less than 3 hours to expose their idiocy

I am willing to bet that there are people everywhere, wether protesting or not, that cannot identify Iraq on a map. Or Texas for that matter! I believe that many of these people actually believe in their cause. They are not protesting for the sake of protesting. Then again, I have never been to California...

Just because you happen to disagree with them does not make them an idiot.

I agree with you in principle. But if you hear a man-on-the-street interview with one of these yahoos ... you'd know too that they are indeed utter imbeciles.

Look pal, these are the same idiots who show up everytime and 'truly' believe in whatever 'cause' draws the cameras that day. It doesent matter if its a meeting of the IMF, APAC, G-7 or a Christmas Parade. The majority of these assholes are anarchists who use the event as an excuse to be IDIOTS. They drive to the protests in the SUVs their daddy bought them and scream "no blood for oil!" and run through the streets blocking traffic and spitting on cops and burning American flags with no idea of what they are talking about.

Given, a very few minutely small portion of these folks are sincere and have educated opinions. Typically, these are the ones who get pushed to the side and eventually leave because they don't even like being associated with these idiots.

The rest are washed up hippies or just plain freaks. What the hell is "Yoga for Peace". Give me a break!

Many people object to war on principle, and that's fine. But organized protests of the sort we have seen on TV are sponsored by ANSWER, a front for a basket of Communist organizations and many people are serving as "useful idiots" unaware of ANSWER's true agenda.
