I know - I also think you all would do immeasurably better without GUESTS. Couldn't resist the dig at the shields. It was/is so stupidly naieve from supposed adults.

So I applaud the original idea and attempted execution. That they, and their supporters, even remotely thought they would be used as anything but to protect military assets is ludicrous.

On protestors: The only thing a war protestor really protests is his/her probability at becomming a target. Otherwise we'd see protestors screaming their lungs out at ANYONE who dared to use military action against anyone else.

To do otherwise is the ultimate hypocrisy.
