I don’t mind Berkeley city council being against the war in Iraq. As individuals, they have a right to speak their mind whatever their state of mind might be.....As individuals, they are protected by the First Amendment. However, as representatives of a taxpaying population, they have a responsibility beyond their individual rights which they have woefully abused and they should be recalled. I’m not gonna hold my breath ‘til that happens.
But as a suggestion to that council & the code pink people, p’haps they could hold their collective breaths until they turn blue. Kicking & screaming & stamping their feet are time-proven tactics also.
If anyone cares, I think the war in Iraq was a mistake & shouldn’t have happened....I also think it was mishandled after the fall of Saddam but I didn’t have any input in that either. HOWEVER, since we’re there, since we’re committed, we should support our troops who have given so much. It’s okay to protest the war. That’s an American right. The city council of Berkeley & the code pink people have gone too far in stepping on the rights of people who are risking their lives in defense of those rights.
