let me try to baby-step you thru this.

you claimed i 'posed the question as to how Bush is responsible for war crimes'

i noted that was wrong, as i had done no such thing.

you then stated that i was incorrect, and that i should read my country's constitution.

i then pointed out that i had indeed read it, and saw nothing to justify your contention [that there was something in the US constitution that would support your claim that i had posed a question as to how bush is responsible for war crimes].

of course, for someone still unclear as to their country of origin, i can understand how confusing this must all seem to you

I"m curiuos why if one guy in FL wants to burn a koran, all americans are unwashed rednecks with southern accents who hate muslims and cling to their bibles, guns, and budweiser, but if Switzerland bans minarets, they are sophisticated europeans and the home of Nestle?

Imagine if the FBI, the President told Rosa Parks that she shouldn't do her protest thing because it would anger racists and would drive up recruitment for the KKK?

Yes, this is a valid question.
I'm sure it will be ignored, but its valid nonetheless.

That's a rather dubious analogy.

No it's not..that's an excellent analogy. A protest that hurts no one but makes a statement.

I was told in another thread that there is 'good provocation of violence'...

Who knew?

No.

It's a dubious analogy on several levels.
