Texas protest pressure point
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4167952.stm

By Alastair Leithead
BBC News, in Crawford, Taxes



Hundreds of protesters have now come to Crawford
At the end of a long line of white crosses, each bearing a name of a soldier killed in Iraq, is a small, open tent set up like a shrine.

Inside the tent is a photograph of Casey Sheehan, surrounded by flowers and candles.

The 24-year-old died in Iraq last year, and two weeks ago his mother, Cindy, struck "Camp Casey" and caught the nation's imagination.

To begin with just a few people drifted along to join her - just a couple of miles down the road from where President George W Bush is spending his summer vacation.

1. BBC...interesting...
...is the rest of the world ready to start to stand up to the Bush Family Evil Empire ???

If the 9/11 rah, rah chorus doesn't work I worry about martial law being declared before things get too "out of hand".
