A Picture Paints..
..a thousand words. But can be interpreted in different ways.
Photo from Third Estate. It didn't look very peaceful to me! But Third Estate seems to think that is a good thing.....
This picture shows a number of things, the least important of which is that I’m getting a bit old for this sort of thing. It shows students from Essex University, of a range of ages and from diverse backgrounds, united in their rage [my emphasis] at what is happening in Afghanistan.
I do not like war, but I'm not going to get angry and go to war over it!

Maybe they're upset at the Taliban preventing women from getting an education, the stonings, the anti-homosexual rulings, the retarded dress codes and total denial of choice and freedom to people?
It would be nice to think that at least... the thought that they're just middle class tossers with a guilt complex is too tragic to bear...
umm... a range of ages from 18-25?
umm... a range of backgrounds from 'privileged to spoilt'? or 'comfortably-off to middle class'?
how things have changed
This post is hilarious in its stupidity. Your pertinent observation seems to amount to the following:
These protestors are against the war.
They are not getting physically violent but they are looking angry and aggressive.
Thats a bit like going to war.
Therefore the are hypocrites.
I didn't say that, Reuben. You did!
So which one of us is stupid?
Awww, be nice to these guys, they’re just poor dumb Cambridge graduates trying to earn a meagre crust.
"Too many Cambridge businesses lack basic common sense....They are driven by technology rather than the need to create a rounded business.... Being an entrepreneur is more difficult than people think, and many in Cambridge are too sure of themselves. They think management is easy, that it's not rocket science, that anybody can do it and that it's the technology that's special and difficult. But technology and innovation is 10-a-penny here, whereas good management in Cambridge is not."
Walter Herriot, Managing Director of the St John's Innovation Centre, Cambridge quoted in "Cambridge expansion", Cambridge Evening News 19th July 2002
The photograph almost allows me to use the pithy, 'Fighting for peace is like f***ing for virginity' saying.
Any excuse...
