mea culpa

a comment to all the whingers who seem to think demonstrating is futile and they know much better from their comfy armchairs
Who’s fault? In order of culpability:
“Coalition” crew
Anyone who’s pro-war
Anyone who says, “On the whole I’m against war, but I suppose our leaders know what they’re doing.”
I’m sure the majority of people reading this would agree.
And anyone who protests, anyone who makes ANY amount of noise whatsoever is helping towards counteracting the inhumanity and injustice currently taking place.
We might not be able to stop it, but at least we’re not silently complicit. And for those that accuse us of going on protests to assuage our guilt SO WHAT? Is it better to stay at home and slit our wrists cos it’s all going horribly wrong and it’s all our fault and there's nothing we can do about it, or to get together en masse and say THIS IS WRONG
