people have a right to protest.
that said-
we are now at war, the time for deciding wether or not we should be at war has passed. if they wanted to stop this war they should have tried harder earlier on.
I'm still unsure as to the need for this war. I don't think our president ever seriously considered not having a war, I don't think he gives a rats bellybutton for the will of the American people, and thats been may main concern all along. not that I think all war is wrong. just that he is supossed to carry out the will of the people and doesn't seem to care what we want (unless you have enough $$, then he might care what you think).
but IMO the WAY these people have been protesting is nothing short of treasonous. I think protesting is pointless at this time, but they do have a right to do it.
thursday night they blocked the freeways here in Portland, blocking people into the city (making them a prime target for chemical or bio attack, out of shelter and unable to flee).
also this disrupted manufacturing and industry, there could and probably was parts and products on trucks, that where needed for manufacturing and carrying on our ecconomy, some of this cargo may have even been in route to the war effort. how is this different from acts of sabotage? the effect is the same, disrupt the means of suport for your army.
if you want to protest go ahead (at this point I'll think you're an idiot but I'd suport your right to do it). but you protest by picketing, marching, bumper-stickers, signs, speaches, etc. not by doing things that are against the law, and then justifying your actions by saying it's alright to break these laws because 'I don't like the war', especialy when your actions endanger the lives of others(how could emergancy services have made it through that mess)
IMO treason, nothing less
