Why do some anti-war protestors adopt such dumb, counter-productive tactics?
BBC:
"More than 30 boats, including the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior, stage a protest against the war in Iraq by sailing to and fro for two hours in the Spanish port city of Barcelona, sounding their sirens."
What on earth do they think they'll accomplish by doing this? All they'll do is annoy the hell out of the people in the port.
It's almost as stupid as the anti-war protestors who block traffic in American cities. The hard-working commuters trying to get to work on time, those trying to get home on time, the parents trying to get to the daycare on time to pick up their kids - they just get pissed off at the idiotic protestors and are less sympathetic to their cause.
