Peace rally this afternoon in Davenport, IA
"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind"
"Bush still lying/People still dying"
"Peace Now"
"Honor the dead/Demand the truth"
"Don't drink the (Fox News, New York Times, CNN, MSNBC) Kool-Aid"
Dorothy Monahan of Moline, although she finds walking somewhat difficult, still gets out and about.
Chris Dunn of Rock Island (not pictured) came with his guitar and sang to keep spirits up.
Among the passing motorist that expressed an opinion the vast majority appeared to support the sentiments expressed on our signs. This was in stark contrast to the rally I attended 3 years ago when war fever was at its peak.

Remember 911
Indeed! Remember 9/11 and remember that Osama bin Laden has still not been captured and remember that we are creating new anti-American terrorist every additional day we are in Iraq and remember that our Iraq adventure seems to have benefited the Iranians.
an remember that there are troops over there preventing that you dont get your ass blown up over here,where you live.

How do you figure? How are our troops in Iraq preventing terrorism here? It appears to most observers that the war is increasing the number of people motivated to carry out terrorism against the United States.
Did you know that a recently released poll of our troops in Iraq shows that more than 70% of the troops think that the US military should all be brought home within the year? Our troops over there do not think that the military needs to stay in Iraq to keep America safe.
And since so much of our "National Guard" is in Iraq, there wasn't anyone to guard this nation after Katrina. Those people weren't safer.
Why do you seem to hate America and it's troops. If you knew anything about foreign affairs you would know that these evil doers need to be stoped. Your views sicken me. I can tell that you are not a Vet of this fine country.
Did you also support Clinton's efforts to go after evil-doers in places such as Somalia or Kosovo? Why aren't we stopping the evil-doers in Darfur?
