Thread Name: BS: The Euston Manifesto
Subject: RE: BS: The Euston Manifesto
There have been no demonstrations that indicate that anyone "mobilized millions". There is no such thing as a depleted uranium artillery shell...tank and helo ammunition, yes. Gore Vidal and Noam Chamsky certainly have their fans, but neither is particularly "notable" outside of a small and well-defined group. The Dixie Chicks is a fair-to-middlin' country group with an intelligent political perspective, but "notable" is questionable. Nowhere in the Manifesto does it say that "the anti war movement is anti American". It clearly acknowledges that some of the originators once supported the Iraq War, but also clearly wants to move forward to fix the resulting problems.

Be factual when you rant, please.
