<<If their true intention is to protect suffering people around the
world, why haven't they headed to other countries in Africa and other
parts of the world where people are enduring situations far worse than the
Iraqis? >>

Mr. Gajigo,

These 'bunch of rabid anti-Americans', as you characterise folks you
hardly know, mostly comprise of Europeans and Americans, including ex-
servicemen. Therefore, I cannot imagine them being anti-American. To
further imply that they do not care about the suffering of African
countries is faulty deduction at best.  We are free to side with either
the pro- or anti-war activists but we must do so without wrapping
ourselves with either the American or Iraqi flag a
t the expense of
objectivity. Personally, I doubt the effectiveness of the strategy adopted
by the protesters given the determined resolve of the Bush Administration
to move against Iraq at all cost; at least that what it appears from my
part of the world.
