There was a demonstration yesterday in Juneau Alaska bringing together 'Veterans for Peace' and 'Juneau for Peace and Justice' and whoever else was able to make it. They carried a flag draped box symbolizing death.

I didn't hear it but some friends of mine said that there were some high school kids who taunted the crowd about 'sand niggers'. One kid asked, "What's in the box?" "It symbolizes 1500 American troops dead and 100,000 civilian deaths in Iraq." "Can I climb in and get a ride?" he asked.

The answer: "Yes. You may find yourself doing that."
