- When unjust rulers, corrupt officials, and an apathetic populous plague us, civil disobedience is the best and only option.
- Damn spoiled kids, thinking a day of rowdy marching speaks louder than the previous days spent in coffeeshops wearing sweatshop clothing.
- Out-of-touch hippies, providing a cover for looters and anarchists.
- Irrelevant in this day and age.
- Goooooood eatin'!

1. let all of you who disparage protestors be thankful that the things that are important to are aren't being trampled, this week, by the powers that be. but i also think protesting is essentially ineffective and that it has failed to make any difference far more often than it has done otherwise. -c

Protesting becomes ineffective and perhaps even counter-productive when it strays into harrasment or obstruction of the wrong parties (commuters, etc.), violence or looting. Too often the message of the protestors becomes lost in the stupidity of their actions, or diluted by irrelevant messages. In the present case, IMO, the political messages of anti-amercanism and anti-Bush-ism drowned out the ethical and moral message that war is always a wrong answer. Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped. - Elbert Hubbard

Sadly, if a protester sits on the side of a pavement obstructing no one, it is not news - and no one cares. Since obstruction of normal life is the only thing that is attracting attention from media as well as governments, the protesters obstruct. How can I say that many of these people did not directly petition their senators and representatives, and the White House first, and send letters to media (which were either not replied or published) before rsorting to the obstructive protests? They may have and not got any conclusive reply; they may not have. I don't know. Sadly again, this is what terrorism is too. Palestine won't be at the top of the agenda, if there were no terrorists. Ireland would not be an issue, if people just sat in peaceful protests without obstructing anyone. I think that people in power need to address the problems of people, despite their political or economic clout. Again, I can only hope. I don't agree with either of the above; because I thnik that if I cannot provide a solution, and am not willing to put the effort, I don't have the right to do so. I don't know if a war is always a wrong answer. But, the diplomatic efforts of the US left way too much to be desired. GWB made it clear that the inspections will not have any bearing on whether the US will go to war with Iraq, even before the inspectors reached Iraq. No wonder others felt "Since US is going to war anyway, why give our blessings - we don't count in any case".

People who protest beer are good eating, those who protest women get my support, those who protest sport probably fall into the spoiled kids category. :-D Those who protest the war are ineffective but understandable. I still think they'd be much better off writing letters though, especially in the UK (not sure elsewhere). A million thought out letters on the doorstep of Whitehall would have been a lot more devastating to Tony Blair than a million people walking through London with silly signs cut out of the Daily Mirror.
