I don't give war protesters too much thought, but they were on the news last night as they made a ruckus over the fifth year anniversary of the start of the Iraq war. I was just struck by a couple of things:
- In Berekley about 100 people came out to see Cindy Sheehan speak and 80 more marched on the Marine recruiter there in Berekley. I assume there were a few more people than that in SF, given about 150 were arrested, but they all made the news. I've seen more than 100 people at Hometown Buffet. More than 100 people go to Crossroads Church on sunday. Oh well.
- Channel 2 interviewed a conciencious objector from Iraq Vererans Against the War, he was a pretty young guy who said that the events of 9-11-01 had moved him to act, so he'd joined the marines. Good for him. He had to leave the marines however when, during training, he'd discovered that the marines were training him to fight and kill people. So not only was he a dufus (doofus?), but he wasn't even in fact a veteran of the Iraq War. Oh well.
