 Monday February 24, 2003 13:53 by Darby O'Gill - Leprechauns Against War
 This is for real - begorrah! A number of anti-war Leprechauns will make an appearance at St. Patrick's Day Parades around Ireland and in New York to protest against plans for war against Iraq. Spokes-chaun Darby O'Gill (him of the Little People) said that the brightly dressed Leprechauns would be making their presence felt in direct actions at various St. Patrick's Day parades and Mr. O'Gill urged the Taoiseach Bertie Ahern not to give any shamrock to the US President George Bush this year. He urged all anti-war politicians to stay away from the White House. There will be a curse upon any shamrock that crosses the threshold of the White House. The last time our ire was stoked that mighty building caught fire. George would do well to avoid the curse of the shamrock. Leprechauns Against War has urged all leprechauns to join in their protests. Non-leprechauns are also welcome to join in the direct action events. Just get a suitable costume, some shamrock and join in. |

Jump To Comment: 1Or some such nonsense.. Yes prime time for Oirish people to wake the sleeping green masses in USA, the same people that were shat upon for years by the monied elite in america are again, now that they are the middle class being shat upon to pay for this war, not just with their taxes, but their children.
The common ground in America is enormous, most people do NOT WANT WAR. Most people want better health care that they can afford, better schools for their children, a future they dont have to worry about (a job? an environment that doesnt poison them) They don't want another generation of their high school buddies coming back from the Gulf with a "Syndrome" or a "Trauma".
If your friend Jim's Granddad fought against the Nazis in WWII and jim joined the Navy cos he was proud of his Granddad, should he be punished for the greed of a few who have usurped power in the USA in an illegal Coup D'Etat? Should a small group of elite investors be allowed to control one of the largest armys in the world? While sucker - Joe Tax Payer foots the bill - AND the backlash??
