carl, the point is: they have NO way of knowing what is going on here. these guys don't have 24/7 CfuckingNN. and, even if they had it, they wouldn't know about this!
WE HAVE A PRESIDNET WHO IS WILLING TO BE A WAR CRIMINAL. why on fucking earth do you think that the troops are going to buy any of this even if you could get the word out to them!? BUSH himself stood there and said, "No matter what, we're going to invade."
do you think this forwardgarden post is going to convince them that they're war criminals if bush, powell, etc. don't appear to think that they are?
finally, without without active efforts on OUR part to get the word to them, and without active support networks to help them take the steps they need to take, the "duty to disobey" from fowardgardenfest is mindless at best, manipulative at worst.
