Drama Falls Like Teardrops !
Last Wednesday, a small group of anti-war activists took to the streets of Galway to lay bare, as it were, the psychopathology of the war criminals in the White House.
With the sabre being rattled in the face of Iran at the moment, the envisaged plan to attack China and "regionalize" it still viable and the military option against Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba, Syria and North Korea alive and well on the drawing boards of the Pentagon, we were not indulging in gratuitous bogey man theatrics, be afraid, be very afraid.
The parents of these two winsome children were from the Middle East and graced us with heartfelt appreciation for what we were doing and camera snapping galore.

i didnt know that one person in a mask counted as a strong protest- that would be all of the galway swp central committee then?
This is the worst case of anti-Americanism that I've witnessed since the self-hating jew, Chomsky and the commie Australian, John Pilger described my homeland as the world's number one "Terrorist State". How dare they. how dare you, pinko Donellan, side with them. May God forgive you, for I won't.
Fair play Tommy, yet again raising the bar with the demo action.
If tourists are put off put somone dressing up in a costume they are obviously not payingattention to what is going on in the world, there is a lot more things to worry about out there.

Small Group=1?
As somebody opposed to the current U.S occupations,even I can see how this could be considered anti-American...
Between these and that naked idiot,Galway seems the home of looper protesters lately.
There must hv been at leat 2 at it, the one in the costume, the other one had to take pictures. Wonder if they traded places?
When, for Christ's sake, will the neanderthals
stop banging their knuckles on the ground, stop spewing the sewage of their limbric minds into malodorous "comments" and at least become numerate?.
Psssst, jackanapes, "Spider" & "Derek", brain transplants are- a -coming soon.
Who dat stagehand?. shurely 't be, it cannot be the redoubtable Margaretta D'Arcy keeping the rag tight for the camera?.
You can't count the people that are shopping in your numbers.
So has Thomas Donnellan become the Galway rep of the IAWM/SWP.
Thought they were whinging moderates Tommy? Wot happened there? Curiouser and curiouser...
is this an anti war story or an anti U.S story? The pics are anti american. Perhaps Tommy, with your defincies at math you didn't notice that countless americans are opposed to the war.
The true colours of the anti war movement emerge!
I'm not even sure if it counts as a protest, it's just a guy dressed in US colours with a sign in German walking around galway.
About as effective as George Galloway.
same old theatrics from the usual suspects...don't doubt their sincerity, but if they think walking about in circus outfits around galway with an obscure nazi reference on a placard has ANY impact whatsoever...sad to see these well meaning people waste their time..they should get involved in real politics.
I am an American and planning to stay in Galway for a couple months pretty soon.
This is all pretty interesting. I would really like to meet or get in contact with anyone who wants to discuss American policy and maybe get some different perspectives.
