thats whats good about this country, nobody has to agree with anybody else

And if we want to protest, we can. And if we don't agree with the protest, we can disagree.

You can't suppress peoples views!

We all think our Armed Services deserve all the support we can gve them, but if folks don't, they are entitled to say. The protest, of course, was not against the soldiers as such, but aginst the Government for getting involved, at the behest of the USA.

TBH that's one thing I'm beyond sick of hearing...'We were there but it wasn't out fault.  USA made us.'  BS if ya ask me.  The UK is full of elected officials too.  They took the stance they felt necessary and the UK public weren't thrilled about it any more than a good many of the US public were thrilled with their own government.

[I KNOW IT]

The soldiers should have been allowed to turn their guns on them imo

Obscene - without a doubt

I think you should be more 'outraged' at what is happening in Guantanamo bay rather than soldiers having their feelings hurt.

Torture > Feelings imo

You have the right to get peeved about what you want though.

No, torture.

In fact the US has more torture carried out by proxy on other countries' soil than it carries out at Guantanomo.  Obama's move to close it is a step forward, but it's a very small step on a very long road.

The greatest Post Flushy has ever made - word-perfect, from my perspective.

I've never attended a public protest in my entire life, but I'd seriously consider doing so (if I thought public protests achieved anything, but they do not) Protesting against G-Bay.

I'm afraid the obsceneties of the G-Bay story will slowly unravel, the torture which we (UK) knew of, but turned a blind eye to, & when the horrors unfold, the net result wil be a huge increase in anti-Western feelings. Then we will have a huge bill to pay, & eveyone will wish the torture, to which most seem apathetic, never happened.
