Let's see - anti-war violence in recent memory.

Washington DC - the last march - a small group of Viet Nam Veterans stood their ground in refusing to let the peace marchers utilize the Viet Nam Memorial as a backdrop for their cause. They were assaulted by hundreds of the "in front" folks before the park police stopped it.

Super Bowl Sunday - A Marine Sgt. was going to the corner store for supplies for himself and his friends. About 15-20 Peace marchers assaulted him with sticks. He ended up having 8 stiches in his head and three in his jaw. Not to mention he was verbally assaulted multiple times as he attempted to egress the area. He did not assault back.

Yep love them peace marchers. And GUEST (Matriot I believe) you are so antagonistic towards others views that I believe you would assault those who do not march with you. You ask for respect but you give little of it.

I won't be marching. I've a child and a brother over there in harm's way, I've a child marching in the Northwest, I've a child who supports the administration and its position, and I personally support the efforts to remove Mr. Hussein from power. Now if the local Veterans decide to hold a vigil of some form I'll participate in that, I'll participate to keep everyone from using the memorials to my country's dead and service as a backdrop for their political agenda, and I will defend myself and anyone in my party against assaults from anyone.

Just my .02 worth
