The police dealt with the situation wonderfully. They could have legitimately used more force then they did. People can protest all they want but that doesn't mean that blockades will be tolerated. If people set up blockades the police have the right to use force to break up the crowed. The more the crowed resists the more force the police are forced to use.

kawasakirider78: Well your choice of words shows all of us the great depth at which you are capable of thinking. It seems that it's not only the news media that knows little of what goes on during war, there is of course Bush, Cheney, to add to your list. As to the legality of the Iraq War, with an open mind, read Article 6 of our Constitution, you know the document that keeps us safe. Bet you thought the military did. Peace Brother

@ipsut your a dumb fuck, you saying they are right is your own opinion not a fact, and btw the news knows nothing of what goes on during the war, and if it was illegal they wouldnt be having the war your just a dumb hippy who thinks he knows what he is talking about but in actuality you dont so shut up

@ipsut You're the kind of jackwagon who would quit when you're 30 feet from the summit. Admit we lost? Iraq is now a democracy you stupid fuck! Sectarian violence is down. Dude, just go cry into your double chai latte and let the adults run things for a while, ok fuckstick. I also love how you choose to go with the ad hominim instead of dealing with the facts I just dropped on you. Fucking libtards. Thank god your kind was not around in 1776.

@captwasabi : Wow, you must be a deep thinker to be able to communicate as you do. It's deep thinkers like you that get us into our un winnable wars, then blame everyone else for your failure. These young protesting patriots have it correct. Admit it we have lost, Pull out now. Peace Brother

@catalunarocks What resources you stupid fuck? Iraq oil makes up like 8% of US imports. If the Us were to invade a country for oil Venezula and Canada are a lot fucking closer and a lot fucking easier. As for WMD, Saddam had them and used them you stupid little troll. As with Viet Nam, there were protests because pampered little douchebags like those we see here are really racist little pukes who wants to prevent anyone else from having their rights and freedoms.
