God Speed brave soldiers.

Hippies often wonder where the activists are during this war... I bet they are scared shitless of police who look like storm troopers who carry around cannisters of pepper spray, paintball guns and tasers.

Authority is winning.

To all the "brave warriors" who are so sure there cause is just that they have to hide their identities just like the members of al qaeda, hamas, plo and many other organizations that they believe should be free to murder innocent men, women and children. The ones that I really have trouble understanding are the women of these movements. If the islamofascists win they will be covered in burkhas and treated as property and apparently they are ok with that. Let's all hear it for rolling back the clock to the 7th century as far as human rights are concerned.

Your posit a false dichotomy. The protesters opposition to christofascism/imperialism is not support of islamofascism. The US is not under threat of invasion, and the suggestion of al quida taking over the US is so patently absurd as to be laughable.

Most of these folks would probably describe themselves as anti-fascist and pro-democracy (as in the real thing, not just state that call themselves such). They support a solution which is the alternative to your two bad options.

I find it absurd that people who have no trouble with their government killing tens of thousands of people and invading other countries without cause in order to "export democracy" through such a hissy-fit when US citizens demand democracy in this country.

Citizens in a real democracy do have a right to gather and obstruct in order to effect government policy. Real democracies defend their citizens right to decent. Sending government paid goons to assault peaceful citizens is the fast track to fascism. That is true weather you like how people are using their rights to assemble and speak or not.
