Pictures from Seattle Peace RallyThis recruiting center in the Central District closed after being confronted with anti-war chants from a mass of demonstrators. One woman was arrested here for civil disobedience, apparently. Pictures below:
Lietta mentioned she wished she'd seen more young people at Olympia's anti-Iraq War rally yesterday. I saw plenty of them at Seattle's event, as evidenced by this group.
The video Watada got standing ovations even though he couldn't see us. Watada might be dramatized as the personification of integrity and courage--no wonder he engenders passionate support. He said (paraphrasing): "We hear that military personnel have no right to pick and choose their battles depending on their own judgement. I would say they not only have the RIGHT, but the moral obligation and DUTY to do so." "History tells us this is the same argument that was made by the Germans, that the troops must leave it to Hitler and the Nazis to determine what is in the best interest of their country." "I will not participate in military actions that are illegal and immoral. They can imprison me, torture me, or kill me--I WILL NOT DO IT." Thus the standing ovation.
