From what I have seen and heard the news (in my area) is doing a really good job of only showing the protesters who are radicals and making it look like all the protesters are out there are some america hating anarcists hell bent on breaking windows and disrupting traffic. This is not true at all. A large number of the "roits" were started by fear after the police began unloading rubber bullets and swinging batons.
I, and a lot of others, do support our troops and hope they have a safe return, and totally respect them putting themselfs on the line. Very heroic of them. Hats off to them.
What I, and a lot of others, do not support is the choices made by US officials to go against UN peace keeping efforts. This was very wrong. American people should not allow their government to ruin years of worldwide building of an overall effective peace keeping group. This is what many of the protesters are trying to get across, but the news media is making them look like crazed people bent on destroying things by only selecting certain areas to focus.
You have to ask, why is it that the educated are revolting and those who educated themselfs trough TV are not?
