"Americans tend to see the entire Iraqi people as the enemy. One of the things we want to do is humanise the Iraqis because it is a lot more difficult to drop a bomb on a person." No we don't and no, it isn't.

Uh huh, it's the usual hippie doper Red Diaper baby nitwits pretending to be fearless and dedicated -- whenever there's a reporter around to listen. But when they figure out that they are assigned to stand in front of real targets, ohdearohdearOHDEAR, they tuck their tails between their legs and flee back to evil old Milwaukee.

said Sue Darling: "I feel a sense of obligation to the Iraqi people. But the choices have now been foreclosed." Did it ever occur to her that maybe what is best for the Iraqi people is to have Saddam removed?

"Despite the collegial atmosphere, the realities of war are not overlooked."
Ah. Really?
I see no mention is made of the probable tactics of the Iraqis, who will very likely kill a few "shields" and toss them on the crater of any dropped bomb, "guaranteeing" that an American strike WILL "kill civilians"
How's THAT for the REAL reality of THIS war?

If I were Saddam, I'd wait until the war started, kill the human shields and put their bodies wherever I wanted and say they were killed by US bombs. If I were George Bush, I'd start floating this possibility to the press via Ari.

Some British 'human shields' flee Activists leave Iraq, cite safety fears
Associated Press Mar. 3, 2003 12:00 AM
LONDON - Some of the peace activists who went to Iraq to serve as human shields in the event of war returned home, fearing for their safety, a spokesman said Sunday.
The human shields are mostly European activists who drove from London to Baghdad in two double-decker buses last month, intending to guard civilian sites from a U.S.-led military attack.
Those who returned home had safety or financial concerns, spokesman Christiaan Briggs said.
"The aim was always a mass migration, and if we had had five to 10 thousand people here there would never be a war," he said. "We do not have those numbers."
The Sunday Telegraph newspaper reported that nine of the 11 British human shields in the bus convoy had left Baghdad. Briggs said about a dozen Britons remained in Iraq alongside several dozens from other countries.
He told Britain's Press Association news agency that Iraq limited the sites that human shields could visit. "Now we are being told we cannot go to certain sites, such as hospitals, so we are reassessing our strategy," he said.
U.S. officials have said that it is a war crime to use civilians as human shields and that there's no way of guaranteeing their safety.
On Friday, the head of Sweden's largest peace organization urged human shields to leave Iraq, saying they were being used for propaganda purposes by Saddam Hussein.

Now the article from here:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/854819/posts made it sound like the Shields weren't allowed NEAR the hospitals, children, population.
Wonder which is true.

Mr. Clancy's statement, "Americans tend to see the entire Iraqi people as the enemy," reveals his ignorance of the American people. On the contrary, we consider the Iraqi people not as our enemy but valued human beings worth the cost of liberating. The American people desire for the Iraqi people the same freedoms and ability to freely express their hopes and concerns for their country and fellow citizens as we have. The American people also hope for an end to the horrible tyranical government the Iraqi barely exist under. The America people want FREEDOM for the IRAQI people. The same freedom in America that allows Mr. Clancy to loudly voice his opposition to actions in Iraq in the media and on street corners is the same FREEDOM most Americans hope the Iraqi people can realize in this generation. No, the Iraqi people are precious and they are not the enemy ... the evil Hussein is both of our enemy.

These sound an awful lot like the same folks as there are in the Ban the Land Mines" organizations.
Maybe if they are done being human shields, they can find out where the Iraqis have their minefields and they can be human land mine clearers, as well.
That would be time well spent, and everyone benefits!
