The police tape fluttering gently marks the front line. On one side sits a rag-tag collection of tents, home-made placards calling for the troops to come home and a long line of white crosses representing the soldiers killed in Iraq.

On the other side of the small country lane there is a smart collection of garden-style awnings filled with fold-out canvas chairs, lined with glossy placards proclaiming "Bush Country", "IM4W" and "Support Our Troops".

2. A tad lop-sided reporting, the reporter should
have his card pulled.

4. Well this is from the Guardian,
I think what he was trying to say was they weren't grass roots, those signs cost plenty to have made, so the whole thing was financed. While the Cindy side are people that dropped everyday life and went there with whatever they had.

3. Isn't it revealing how right wingers
are obsessed with the idea of winners and losers? Their favourite comment to liberals et al seems to be "You lost, get over it". Lost what? The notion that you are all citizens of the US and that what is best is what's good for as many people as possible is one which never seems to have crossed their minds. It's like their lives are a set of competitions - who has the biggest cars, most guns, most money, loudest mouths... it goes on and on. And, of course, the end result is that they're scared on everything.

6. I think there's a better quote...
"Some people call you the rich. Other people call you the super-rich. I call you my base." (approximate)
