Stardate 20010928.1601 (On Screen): Well, there was originally supposed to be a meeting of the IMF/World Bank in Washington in the next couple of days, but because of the bombing it was called off. There was also supposed to be a demonstration against them by the anti-Globalization folks -- and what with the meeting called off, you'd think there would be nothing to demonstrate against, wouldn't you? But they're going to protest anyway, and they've quickly changed their signs. Instead of protesting against globalization they're going to protest for peace. One of their demands is going to be for "restraint".

It's been 18 days since the bombing and the US hasn't done anything yet. How restrained to they want us to be? (discuss)

Update: Of course, they do have a right to protest. The Constitution protects our right to be foolish. (And wouldn't it be ironic if this "peace" protest turned into a riot, like so many of the other anti-Globalization demonstrations in recent memory?)
