Clipmarks | Vietnam Clips Dispute over flag potest erupts in Wic. Village clipped by: clickclipper clippers remarks: I was taught when you fly the American flag upside down it meant you were in distress. When were the laws changed. Why does the ACLU have to be involved Clip Source: news.yahoo.com Dispute over flag protest erupts in Wisc. village WAUSAU, Wis. ? An American flag flown upside down as a protest in a northern Wisconsin village was seized by police before a Fourth of July parade and the businessman who flew it ? an Iraq war veteran ? claims the officers trespassed and stole his property. The American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin is considering legal action against the village of Crivitz for violating Vito Congine Jr.s First Amendment rights, Executive Director Chris Ahmuty said. Village President John Deschane, 60, an Army veteran who served in Vietnam, said many people in town believe its disrespectful to fly the flag upside down. "If he wants to protest, let him protest but find a different way to do it," Deschane said. Tags: us flag, distress zum Artikel... Britains defence policy is mired in deceit and denial clipped by: ratilfar Clip Source: www.guardian.co.uk Bob Ainsworth is no Bob McNamara. But Britains defence secretary was worried enough about the unravelling in Afghanistan to make it the focus of a speech at Chatham House on Wednesday. There were compelling reasons to be in Afghanistan, Ainsworth said. The engagement went to "the heart of this countrys national security" and to "the core of our national interests". It was a "hard and dangerous" conflict in which more lives would be lost. But the US and its allies were a force for good. There was new military momentum. There was no defined date for the end of the campaign, but "we will win". We have heard every bit of this before. It doesnt make it wrong, but almost everything that Ainsworth says about Afghanistan is an echo of what McNamara once said about Vietnam. There too the conflict was supposedly vital to the national strategic interest. There too there was always new momentum. There too there was nothing that could not be achieved by another infusion of fresh troops. zum Artikel... Für die Inhalte dieses Feeds ist alleine der jeweilige Autor/Anbieter verantwortlich.
