I'd be much more inclined to support things like this if the organisers weren't such wankers. That said, I suppose the point of it is to allow wankers to have their say just as much as anyone else, so I'll probably go along.
I'll just wear a T-Shirt reading "I'm not with Stupid", and arrows pointing in all directions.

I mean, I ask you: This is also a celebration of freedom and free expression, so let's enjoy it. Jugglers, clowns, unicyclists will be welcomed.
Not by me, they bloody won't.

Anyone else coming?

Neither Germany nor Japan became stable democracies overnight afetr they'd been conquered. To pull out western support now, after removing the former authority and before a new stable one is in place, would be a shocking abrogation of responsibility.

That's far too sensible. We should just pull out and leave the little Iraqis to it. Our democratic hegemony has got to stop now!

Yeah, screw that - that's pull out and let the brown fuzzy people kill each other. They don't matter anyway.

Stupid Marshall Plan. Should have never come into place. I liked it better when you could just invade brown people and not even bother with giving antibiotics for syphillis.

Why doesn't the US produce people like Eisenhauer, Roosevelt and MacArthur any more?

It does, we're all just stuck in IT jobs because we don't want to whiten our teeth or go hunting with Dick.

I agree.
It does.

But the above three Dave mentioned didn't have to submit to the media scrutiny most-politicians do today!

Clinton was many things, but he was easily the best political creature since Roosevelt (he ran rings around the GoP- which is why they got SO harsh on him).

Gore is/was a visionary in several ways (OK, he's lame, but still he had vision).

A few others- one guy who failed to get the Democratic nomination last time around- ex-general Clark (he off the jumpers). he is STRAIGHT out of the MacArthur mold.

But compromise wins all i suppose!

we should never have gone in the first place...anyway

tis also about Iran and nuclear stuff. All that wanting to spend 25billion on new nuclear weapons.

I was responding to the first - and by inference the most important - item on the list.

Maybe they thought the phonetics of it worked better that way round

What, they're protesting the UN's protestations against Iran?

Fuck me I'm confused. No one's even declared war on them yet. Is it just that there aren't any good home grown causes or that the bloated babies of Africa aren't cute anymore?

I think they are pre-empting.

In truth I imagine that CND's priority (as that is who gave me the info) is the nuclear weapons...they are probably throwing more stuff in there to get a bigger crowd

I'm not sure these people understand that Iran is full of MANIACS.

And not only is it full of them it's run by maniacs.

Tony Blair might be bad but he's not nearly as terrifying as who makes Iran go.

But people ALSO forget- that he is democratically elected maniac!
Chances are he will not be in power by the time they get round to actually MAKING the nukes!
Unless of course we keep slagging him off here in the West.
he won't actually NEED to campaign again at this rate!

I am organising a protest.
Two actually.

The first is to protest the protest against the UN's protests towards Iran.

The second is to protest the amount of silly protests taking place.

From: [identity profile] vulgarcriminal.livejournal.com
I'll come to the second protest. Can we have jugglers?

Yes, and I am trying to book a travelling circus.
It's not a REAL protest until you have elephants, lions and stilt walkers!

I am also thinking of contacting the Bavarian Naturist Society. Mass Germanic Nudism is a must!

Which is precisely what the French said to their Emperor Napoleon. ;-)

Napoleon was doing well until he got on teh wrong side of a non-tyrannical regime - namely, us.

Non-tyrannical? Remember, you're talking to an American here. ;-)

Touche...but what were we to do without Spain's Catholic masses or Britain's pork-chewing Sepoys? ;-)
