Stories like this one give you a fairly candid picture of the attitudes of the people protesting the war. This type of protest just disgusts me. How can you allow your empathy for the suffering of others to be overshadowed by your hatred for one man and your political viewpoint? That is the kind of mentality — ideology over concern for fellow human beings — that typifies situations like the Gulag. Inhuman behavior to make yourself the hero of a warped political system.
