4 members of a wacko group have been kidnapped in Iraq.  This group reportedly (in their words) are their to document the oppression and torture of Native Iraqis at the hands of the imperialist WASPs that have invaded the country.

This organization has decided that sticking ones head in a noose and jumping off a cliff, is not the fault of the person doing the deed, instead it is the fault of the person who did not remove the cliff!  Yes, it is not the idiots fault for putting themselves in harm's way, it is the fault of the US and UK troops!

While the term "peace activist" has a noble ring to it, and people stand up and cheer, these goof balls are akin to the clown who wanted to stop a train with her body!  And then was outraged when she lost both legs.  These are not peace activists.  They are left wingnut loons that use any backdrop they can to further their own agenda.  An Agenda that has nothing to do with furthering peace, but in trying to paint any one not of their warped agenda with a tar brush.

That they are over there, where they are clearly not wanted (except by the terrorists as nice propaganda devices and head chopping practice) is one thing.  Anyone can go.  But to blame anyone but their own stupidity for their situation is just plain criminal and egocentric.

I think the US and UK should pay these jerks the respect they deserve.  Ignore them.  Maybe they will go away on their own.
