The protest this weekend

This was the protest that I intended to go to – but it did not work out. I am talking about the School of the Americas protest in Columbus, Georgia.

And the above photo is the first photo I have seen from this protest. How fitting that Dennis Kucinich was there and speaking out against the evil that is produced from this “school” (which is now called the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation). Well, they changed the name but not the purpose – which is true evil.

Kucinich said that the thinking that went into producing an Army school blamed for human rights abuses in Latin America was the same thinking that led the US to war in Iraq.

This year was the 18th protest. I hope to join them next year. As you can see from just this one photo, people of all ages come to protest this hideously evil “school” that is run by the US military.
