This, I think, raises one important point. He's exactly right that you get total morons on both sides, and you hear alot about them. However, you only hear about them because it doesn't sell newspapers or get viewers to report "Peace protest occurs peacefully. Peace reigned and points were made peacefully."
As IW and the other forums demostrate, for every nerk that does/says something stupid in defense of/opposition to the war, there are thousands of civilised, sane people who show their viewpoints rationally. I know all we hear about are the fruitloops, but I always try to remember that they *are* in the minority, despite what some media sources would have us believe [img]smile.gif[/img]
If I believed people like Mr Dangerous Driver were representative of demonstraters generally, I think what little faith I have in the human race would vanish faster than my wallet when my brother asks to borrow money
