Human Shields and Choice

However, I think they are on the wrong side of the conflict, which unfortunately makes them the enemy.

The enemy? Are you sure? They've already voiced their intention to be among the non-combatant people of Iraq. People that should not, under any circumstances, come under fire.

Outside of the media (propaganda?) war, I fail to see how these people are enemies.

It is one thing to believe that your government is wrong, and work to change the minds of your elected officials or vote in new ones, but quite another to actively work against your own government.

Various nationalities are represented within that crowd.
Did they believe the American government is wrong? Yes.

Did they work to change the minds of elected officials? To a point. The Rumsfeld band doesn't appear to want to listen though.

Did they vote in new officials? Well they can't, can they. Blair and Howard won't last past their respective next elections by the looks though.

Did they work against their own government? Some of them are doing so. Did those democratically elected proponents of war governments work against the will of their own people?

Yes.

And people are calling it a crime too. <_<
