I did not see them driving any tanks or becoming soldiers for Saddam Hussein.

All I saw was them forming human shields. They didn't aid the military of Saddam Hussein, they attempted to form a "moral block" that if US troops wanted to get past, they would have to kill the shields first.
And that is about as much treason as critisizing the government in a time of war.

This isn't "aiding" them? They are INTENTIONALLY HINDERING THE OPERATION OF THE US MILITARY IN A TIME OF WAR. If they want to protest, fine - but the war was legally declared. Once we are actually at war, they can try to stop it, but they can't actually HINDER it. Or would you consider them shooting US soldiers just "protesting" too?

Which countries should we have sanctions on?

When did Dissident start posting serious ****?

[Ned]

Whatever happened to "Congress shall pass no laws abridging freedom of speech." This definitely was exactly the kind of speech the framers intended to protect - political protest. However much one disagrees with the protesters, they have a right to protest even if it technically is against a law that appears neutral on its face regarding expression.

These guys will walk eventually. I think Bush really screwed up having them arrested.

Duh? Canada.

This isn't freedom of speech! This is people going into a war zone and hindering the workings of the military! You can protest a law, but you can't break it!

I occasionally do. I am allowed, right?

I did not even support the anti-war movement. And at one time I was pro-war.

But I do stick up for the rights of others when being unfairly prosecuted for their political beliefs.

snooze, skywalker

How so?

a) They all left early because they're pussies
b) Does it really hinder the effectiveness of a bomb if there's a human shield around?

I believe they left when the bombs started falling. They may be stupid, but they weren't crazy

Well, personally I think that it's fine dropping the bomb anyway - but most of the people who don't want to try the human shields would also view dropping the bomb on them as immoral and illegal.
