In Full Support of
the War
by Jason Roth
"Men belonging to Feda'iyye Saddam came to the house in al-Karrada district and found his wife, children and his mother. Um Haydar was taken to the street and two men held her by the arms and a third pulled her head from behind and beheaded her in front of the residents. The beheading was also witnessed by members of the Ba'ath Party in the area. The security men took the body and the head in a plastic bag, and took away the children and the mother-in-law. The body of Um Haydar was later buried in al-Najaf. The fate of the children and the mother-in-law remains unknown."
Carnage by the Iraqi regime, reported by Amnesty International, August 2001
Fast forward to March 20, 2002, San Francisco, California:
"In a unique form of opposition, some protesters at the Federal Building staged a "vomit in," by heaving on the sidewalks and plaza areas in the back and front of the building to show that the war in Iraq made them sick, according to a spokesman."
When you hear the word "spokesman", do you picture a Left Coast slob with puke dripping down his face? I don't. I picture someone in a suit. But maybe that's just me.
And in Washington:
"About 100 protesters later gathered in pouring rain on the streets near the White House, and about 350 demonstrators blocked evening rush hour traffic on a main Washington thoroughfare."
And New York:
"Anti-war demonstrators overflowed police barriers during rush hour in Times Square, completely shutting New York's Broadway for two blocks below 42nd Street."
Let's see. I'll try not to hedge here... The police need to cuff these motherfuckers, throw them behind bars, and let them wallow in their own anti-American scum until their pro-terrorist lawyers can spew enough bullshit to unlock the doors.
