let the protesters be, they all have their own reasons for not wanting war.
It's amazing how many of you gung-ho wannabes think war is all fun and games. Are you perhaps planning on bicycling next summer when gas prices hit $5 per gallon, well I do not wish to cycle in 100 degree heat. Sure Saddam is evil, but he can't very well extend his influence beyond Iraq. If it comes down to Iraqis suffering because he's in power or me because we are fighting him, I choose the Iraqis.

As for the human shields, there is a good part, maybe Saddam will have these guys so he doesn't drag his own people out at gunpoint.
