Anti-War protesters across the country


If the Bush administration is'nt feeling the heat now they sure will be soon. As another cliche news headline hits the list with "4 US soldiers killed today in Iraq", anti-war protesters all across the United States are joining together in an effort to end the war in Iraq. The organizers from California to Florida: moveon.org, Political Action, True Majority, and Democracy for America, were responsible for the countrywide vigils that are now being held. Despite the heat, Bush still refuses to speak with Cindy Sheehan as im sure he's wetting his britches right about now wondering what to do, "Dangit! I thought i had them hook, line, and sinker." nope. In New Hampshire, about 150 stood outside the statehouse holding candles and uniting in protest. At Cincinnati's Fountain Square some 200 protesters took part in a peace vigil singing "Give Peace A Chance" Hawaii has also taken part as well as vigils held in Oregon, Dallas Texas, Madison,Wisconsin, Washington D.C. and even in Paris France, where a huge sign was posted to the Eiffel Tower spelling Peace in 32 different languages. Is the idea of "Unite not fight" really that bad of an idea? Why is it, that republicans stand for christianity, christianity stands for Christ, Christ stands for peace, but republicans support a needless war? Really, what are we there for? Protesters on the other side of the spectrum, decided they're going to hold a pro-war vigil at the same park in Washington DC where the anti-war protesters will be. Kristinn Taylor, co-leader of the groups Washington DC chapter said "This is a publicity stunt" Since when was the protest against the death of 1,861 honored soldiers a "publicity stunt"? Is the lady really that jaded? She also referred to pulling the troops out of Iraq as that would be leaving them to go to hell, but im sure Jesus is just jumping up and down standing at Heavens gates with every fallen soldier or civilian right? ~ds~
