I am inclined to agree with you -- however, as you say, our political system
gaurantees these people the right to assemble, no matter what the situation.
While a great irony, it's also a great tribute to the rightness of our
government system that this sort of demonstration will be allowed.

At least I can get behind the last two points that they make.  Though I
imagine my version of redress of middle east policy would be vastly
different from theirs.  And nothing wrong at all with the third point...
