yes, i do consider this to be very courageous...to put one's beliefs into actions...i do not consider this idea to be either naive or facist...
the purpose of the human shield is not to protect a leader who we all agree should be stopped but to try & stop a war that many do not believe is wise or justified... if we attacked iraq it would be the first time the USA has ever attacked another country, unprovoked...that in itself is alarming...in addition, before we send our children over to fight a war in iraq, i would like some real facts as to why this is neccessary & why this must happen now... >>Hi Kate, I wonder - is this courageous? We wouldn't regard people who volunteered to be human shields for Adolf Hitler as courageous, even if the intent was to protect the German people, not Hitler himself. We'd still think they were, at best, naive, and at worst, fascists. I'm surprised at people on the left who oppose this war. It seems to me this is a just war, and a necessary one.<<
