| Milforum Moderator  | I think he is talking about anti Iraq and anti war protestors...the comment about turning Iraq into Vietnam kind of inplies it.

| Primus Pilus | Quite frankly, if the protest is considered to be legal, then therefore they have the right to do so. As long as it does not become malicious, violent, or hateful. The Anti-Iraq War protests have prooven to become useless in the US. Most of the decisions made is being made by the power elite seated in the Senate and the White House. I must stress on this once again that the protestors do not have tremendous power and influence they once had during the Vietnam War. In a country where its leaders often talk about democracy is quite mistaken. America is not the largest Democracy in the world and it is not the most democratic system in the world. It is a Republic where the people are represented by their politicians. Remember this saying? "No Taxation without representation."

| Optio | Technically, they are just exercising their rights, and there's nothing wrong with that. At least, that's what you'd assume from the glazed over coverage of protests by the media. In reality, many "peace protests" easily turn violent and the "protesters" themselves are more there to have a good time than to voice their political opinion. You can see some videos of these protests here: http://protestwarrior.com/ This is an organization that sends "anti-protesters" to crash peace protests. It's very interesting to see a protest in its real colors (rather ugly). Around the end of the Viet Nam War, protests turned ugly, with once peaceful civil rights demonstrators turning into militant anti-war protesters, using terrorist tactics (bombings) and demanding a revolution to overthrow the government. Let's hope it doesn't escalate into that again.
