Protesting Military Recruiters in Seattle

Fox News reports on the difficulties faced by recruiters in the Seattle area.

"There might be good reasons to die for things, but there's no good reason to kill for anything," said Amy Hagopian, the mother of a senior at Garfield High School and the co-chairwoman of the PTSA, which passed a resolution seeking to ban the military from all Seattle schools.

One has to wonder how effective Hagopian's tactics would have been in stopping the killing inside Auschwitz. Or the camps in Stalin's Soviet state. Did I mention China? Or the killing fields in Cambodia. Or, come to think of it, the mass graves inside Iraq (over 300,000 bodies so far.)
