You people for "peace" for the Iraqi people are morons. Here's is your proof. And it will ONLY GET BIGGER. Are you starting to feel stupid yet?

"No Saddam Hussein!" one young man in headscarf told Gurfein. "Bush!"


U.S. Marines Rip Down Saddam Portraits
1 hour, 5 minutes ago

By ELLEN KNICKMEYER, Associated Press Writer

Milling crowds of men and boys watched as the Marines attached ropes on the front of their Jeeps to one portrait and then backed up, peeling the Iraqi leader's black-and-white metal image off a frame. Some locals briefly joined Maj. David "Bull" Gurfein in a new cheer.


"Iraqis! Iraqis! Iraqis!" Gurfein yelled, pumping his fist in the air.


"We wanted to send a message that Saddam is done," said Gurfein, a New York native in the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force. "People are scared to show a lot of emotion. That's why we wanted to show them this time we're here, and Saddam is done."


The Marines arrived in Safwan, just across the Kuwait border, after Cobra attack helicopters, attack jets, tanks, 155 mm howitzers and sharpshooters cleared the way along Route 80, the main road into Iraq (news - web sites).


Safwan, 375 miles south of Baghdad, is a poor, dirty, wrecked town pocked by shrapnel from the last Gulf war (news - web sites). Iraqi forces in the area sporadically fired mortars and guns for hours Thursday and Friday. Most townspeople hid, although residents brought forth a wounded little girl, her palm bleeding after the new fighting. Another man said his wife was shot in the leg by the Americans.


A few men and boys ventured out, putting makeshift white flags on their pickup trucks or waving white T-shirts out truck windows.


"Americans very good," Ali Khemy said. "Iraq wants to be free."


Some chanted, "Ameriki! Ameriki!"


Many others in the starving town just patted their stomachs and raised their hands, begging for food.


A man identifying himself only as Abdullah welcomed the arrival of the U.S. troops: "Saddam Hussein is no good. Saddam Hussein a butcher."


An old woman shrouded in black — one of the very few women outside — knelt toward the feet of Americans, embracing an American woman. A younger man with her pulled her away, giving her a warning sign by sliding his finger across his throat.


In 1991, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis died after prematurely celebrating what they believed was their liberation from Saddam after the Gulf War. Some even pulled down a few pictures of Saddam then — only to be killed by Iraqi forces.


Gurfein playfully traded pats with a disabled man and turned down a dinner invitation from townspeople.


"Friend, friend," he told them in Arabic learned in the first Gulf War.


"We stopped in Kuwait that time," he said. "We were all ready to come up there then, and we never did."


The townspeople seemed grateful this time.


"No Saddam Hussein!" one young man in headscarf told Gurfein. "Bush!"

The front page pic

by Kate D. Gillam Saturday, Mar. 22, 2003 at 11:17 AM
officer_max@yahoo.com 818-985-4274

hi. on the cover of today's website page, you have a picture of a girl kneeling with a sign that says "how many iraqi babies have your tax dollars killed" with two dolls bound, speared and bleeding at the top. Thanks, that's me getting arrested there, and I would love a better copy of the picture. That was probably one of the greatest moments in my life. On Wednesday night, I felt so powerless, crying and the such about all the people dying in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, etc. What could I do? So I decided to sit in the streets and even when the motorcycles were near by, I didn't feel afraid, I felt so empowered. I kept praying and I feel like a have finally tasted a bit of freedom and I am feeling like I can make a difference, which is very important for everyone to feel, otherwise, what's the use in fighting? That's what the government would like us to believe, that there is no use in us fighting, but I believe otherwise.
Thanks to God
Thanks to my brothers and sisters, keep fighting (peacefully)
And many thanks to those who were arrested with me
And very many thanks to indymedia.org

Be a strong Kate

by Antonio Gramsci Saturday, Mar. 22, 2003 at 1:53 PM

Hello Kate,
Please excuse my poor English; but rather than writing in Italian I will attempt this:
I am speaking to remind you that you will always have opposition. The only way to have life is to be committed to what you believe. Physical attacks come from the laws of those who have too much to gain in keeping these laws. This is the way it always has been. Those individuals who hurl verbal abuse at you are those that follow this power blindly, only thinking that they, too, have power. They are mistaken, as they eventually discover. This, too, is the way it has always been. To follow blindly, you become nothing. Your education to follow blindly began in school at a young age. It is time to re-learn. Take the time. Without committment, you become nothing. It is all that you really have in life. Everything else is ephemeral, gone at the blink of an eye at any moment.

get out of OUR country?!?!

by erin Monday, Mar. 24, 2003 at 1:51 PM

This is for Mike Mulaney and everyone out there who nods their heads when they read his post...
You claim that the protesters are an embarassment to our country, but what could possibly be more 'American' than standing up for what you believe in -- especially in the face of opposition?
If you are afraid of dissention, afraid of hearing points of view other than your own, well, I know a couple of countries (especially in the Middle East) where you would feel right at home.

Posts falsely using my name

by Amanda Egge Monday, Mar. 24, 2003 at 10:07 PM
frannyglass@attbi.com

The above post was not made by me. I apologize for any hurt feelings made by the poster who falsley used my name. I don't wish any harm to anybody- especially our troops. i want them to come home alive and safe. It hurts me to know that people are dying in Iraq as I write this. My heart goes out to all of those who are suffering right now.

Peace be with you,
Amanda

think about it

by arielle Wednesday, Mar. 26, 2003 at 9:17 PM
six_345@yahoo.com

lets take a moment to review our american history...lest we forget who's "country" this is. this is a land built by blood and warfare, greed and corruption. by people who oppress and enslave body, and mind. review your textbooks, read between the lines. educate yourself. because not to, is to perpetuate the lies, bloodshed, hate and intolerance that is this countries legacy. revolution begins between the ears. i applaud you, kate. together, we will make a difference. together, we shall create a new world.
"We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box."

wage peace now.
