"We propose this takes the form of a `Hands Around Shannon' carnival, an encirclement of the airport with candles, torches and other light bearing objects, and drums, guitars, pots, whistles and other noise making instruments, plus kites and whatever else that makes a spectacle. Our aim is that the maximum number of people come to participate in these protests"

Emm...do you know how big Shannon Airport actually is? More to the point, we won't be left anywhere near it! It might be a bit more practicable if plans were laid for camping on the main road to airport for the night. Bit of muzik, a picnic, etc. etc. I guess the Anti-War Ireland demo will have a good few thousand and numbers like that on the road having the craic could be conducive to a really good protest. Should be colourful too, and we should wear yellow jackets to confuse the cops!

As an American of Irish descent and a veteran of the U.S.Army, I find your socialist anti American opinions abhorent and ignorant.
Ireland provided millions of immigrants to America when she was not able to feed her own.America was a growing country and welcomed the new arrivals. My grand parents included. The Irish thrived in America, serving their new home in many facets most notably in the U.S. Military. There has been a long bond between the two countries. I and many,many Irish Americans resent your actions as socialist Irish in protesting our President and the leader of the free world. Who if not America will have the courage to stand up against evil in this world?Who I ask? You? Dont make us laugh WHILE YOU ARE MAKING US PUKE.

We're still at a very early stage of evolution, where the lesser, smaller apes will blindly follow the greater, bigger apes and fulfil their desires unquestionably. The bigger apes will roar the loudest and stand on a hill to wave their large fists while the singuarly ineffectual apes look on in awe of their masters. The fat apes will desire more and more power and more and more area in which to exert that power. They will send the under-developed apes onwards to take and murder for these daddy apes and the ignorant and hungry mass of unthinking apes will obey immediately as they are incapable of questioning, of either themselves or their stronger and slighty more intelligent masters. No true knowledge can be grasped by these apes as they have not reached the stage yet where their tiny brains can begin any meaningful process of independent thought. They are lost and scared as they find themselves in a vast wide world which is full of dangers to them and in which exists strange phenomena unfanthomable to this breed of primative beings e.g other things which look similar to themselves but act and sound differently. The fear induced by this sometimes brutal and horrific world causes them to huddle together in groups who feel the same and who always, always gather themselves under the umbrella of the largest and most vocal apes.
