In Baghdad, some 3,000 protesters peacefully demanded the release of seven followers of Shiite Ayatollah Mahmoud al-Hassani, who had been detained by U.S. forces in the past week.

amid a article of the latest fights, wounded and kidnappings i saw this. it struck me and i wanted to share.

it made me feel good that these people are now able to share a freedom i'm sure most of us take for granted.

i dont really care what they are protesting, its the fact that they can.

It looks like that link points to a different story now. But, you're right. I always love to see a peaceful protest. That's what a free republic is all about.

the paragraph is about a 3rd of the way down. the article starst with the kidnapping, then goes into a city by city of whats going on. i just found it amusing to be reading 'fight, fight, wounded, kidnapping' with a blurb on a good reason to be helping these people.

i just wish we could have more then a blurb about stuff like this. it would be kool to hear how they feel about getting a chance to voice an opinion.

it would be a nice balance to all the hate articles floating around.

Didn't you hear? The marines are now shooting innocent wounded children and women.
