[Green-Activist] Fw: Antiwar protests sweep across the country

Sun Mar 25 14:13:19 EST 2007

Couldn't agree more Anne.

That's why i want to see a government which will hand Howard the coward over 
to the UN for trial and hanging for crimes against humanity.  Maybe if we do 
it the yanks and poms might follow suit.  It'd be a great day for justice if 
those three swung.

> spread deep into the rank-and-file of the U.S. military as well, as
> soldiers, marines and sailors carried out their own protests and acts of
