Having attended two major anti-war rallies in D.C. prior to the invasion - American's were brave - in that we endured being called unpatriotic and traitors in order to protest the actions of our government.

9. Did you read articles on this?

Reportedly the Irish government used 1/3 third of their "protective" forces for Bush's arrival. Can you imagine using 1/3 of an entire country's police force to protect one man?

Only our rivers run free (Irish Song of Freedom)

When apples still grow in November
When blossoms still bloom from each tree,
When leaves are still green in December,
It's then that our land will be free.
I wander her hills and valleys,
And still through my sorrow i see
A land that has never known freedom
And only her rivers run free.

13. "George Bush never should have come here"

http://abcnews.go.com/wire/Politics/ap20040626_899.html

"George Bush never should have come here and it's not a moment too soon that he leaves," said Richard Boyd Barrett, leader of a group called the Irish Anti-War movement, said as the engines of Air Force One revved nearby.

Bush had been the target of protests since his arrival Friday, when 10,000 demonstrators marched through Dublin.

On Saturday, about 5,000 traveled by bus to barbed wire barricades set up a few miles from the castle. About 4,000 police and 2,000 soldiers one-third of the security forces in Ireland patrolled the security cordon around the leaders' meeting.

The protests lasted more than an hour with no trouble or arrests and little tension.

"We came to demonstrate to show that the people here aren't anti-American," said Carol Fox, an American who is from New York and has lived in a suburb of Dublin for more than 20 years. "We're all anti-George Bush. Everything I ever learned in school about human rights has been contravened by this man."

She held a sign that said "U.S. citizens in Ireland for peace."

The police in the top post are dressed in Darth Vader riot gear

The police in the top post are dressed in Darth Vade riot gear which hides their faces, just like the police at the Miami, Florida FTAA last year.

I think it should be illegal for the police to hide their faces, for the sake of accountability.

Also, I think it should be illegal for police to wear riot gear when there isn't a riot going on.
