Keep it up buddy - while I understand the just reasons you are protesting; these soldiers are the good guys doing what that they are ordered to do by their superiors in the defense of all our freedom. Unfortunately, this war shoudn't have been started in the first place by the Bush Administration but rather we should have gone after the bad people who attacked our friends in the World Trade Center. Your cousin, Dennis Paddy,

One of the rabbinical students, who played the pianist's sister in the movie, said she couldn't help but think of Iraq. I wonder too if we are silently watching the war machine crush others, and am grateful for those who speak up. "Blessed are the peacemakers". We all need to learn new ways to love our enemies. Speaking the truth in love is a necessary part of peace-making. How can we find peace if we pretend suffering does not exist?

I later asked State Capital Police officers and they told me they would not have ignored the spectator's actions. After the parade, I asked the Raleigh Police officer actually involved in the incident about his actions and he said he did not see the spectator's actions and the officer actually reacted very defensively - I would even say semi-aggressively toward me in his words and nonverbals - no physical contact.

Breen Wed, 30 Apr 2008 03:27:05 +0000 http://goodwillmedia.wordpress.com/?p=4#comment-6 Very interesting video. I was really disappointed that the police didn't do anything to the person who tore up the sign, nor to the guy with the Marine flag who was trying to obstruct the sign. Seems like the only free speech that was being allowed in the video was free speech that was supportive of the war and the Bush administration policies. Any speech that was anti-war was being suppressed by the cops quite blatantly. When someone is being attacked and the cops who witness it doing nothing, that in my opinion is suppression.

However the folks gathered at the parade behaved in a manner consistent with the behavior of people in war, just not as severe. The task of abolishing war will indeed be a formidable one.
