| International Action Center to Washington for "World Peace" |
| 2001-10-04 |
But perhaps the groups that have done themselves the most harm are the antiglobalization protestors. After the International Monetary Fund and World Bank called off meetings planned to be held in Washington in late September--an event the protestors spent months gearing up for--the antiglobal groups decided they would change their message. A much-smaller group of protestors, led by the virulently anti-American International Action Center, showed up in Washington, this time to promote "world peace." Talk about irony. Here was a group that hates anything global--except, it seems, world peace. Moreover, here were people who have a track record of violent "protest," now lecturing our government on the need for pacifism. |
