plexus Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Got this from the Web...should stir things up a little bit. A first wave of mainly Western volunteers will leave London this weekend on a convoy bound for Iraq to act as "human shields" at key sites and populous areas in case of a U.S.-led war on Baghdad. "The potential for white Western body parts flying around with the Iraqi ones should make them think again about this imperialist oil war," organizer Ken Nichols, a former U.S. marine in the 1991 Gulf War (news - web sites), told Reuters.

Greg_W Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Ken is stupid, wrong, a disgrace to the uniform he wore, and probably soon to be dead. Good riddance to that fuck. Quote
catbirdseat Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Gee, that sounds like fun. Do you think I could qualify to be a human shield? I always wanted to see what falling bombs look like from the ground rather than from 40,000 ft. Quote
glen Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Ken is stupid, wrong, a disgrace to the uniform he wore, and probably soon to be dead. Good riddance to that fuck. Probably right on all counts, depending on your point of view. I have a feeling that this one won't work out like they planned. Is this a candidate for the Darwin Awards? Certainly an honorable mention. "I wanted to be a human shield against carpet bombing" Those bombs are sooooo selective. I agree with trying to stop the war, but the approach, it seems, is fundamentally flawed and assumes too much. Quote
Bronco Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 I remember a group like this that was planning to camp in the desert prior to Desert Storm and block the US tanks from rolling into Iraq. Never heard anything about it again. I figured they were either run over by tanks and nobody noticed or they didn't make it to their destination. Seemed kinda silly to me anyway, like setting up some tents in the rolling plains of Nebraska to stop cattle from stampeding to South Dakota. Silly people! Quote

freeclimb9 Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 What's funny about this scheme of human shields in that the peacenik participants think it will be a deterent. Some in Washington might think "two birds with one stone". Quote
Greg_W Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Right on. Plus, how will they get there? I'm sure U.S. flights aren't going there. Fly through France (read "anti-semitic bastards", except Caveman's people)? Quote
MtnGoat Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 It's anyone's right to commit suicide, if they think someone will not thumb the firing switch or bomb release because they are standing in the way, I guess this will provide a good example of natural selection. Quote
