Moral High Ground
From The Washington Post:
Shortly before the U.S. invasion in March, Fippinger was one of several dozen human shields scattered around a refinery in Baghdad.
“We are planning to stay here in the refinery if war breaks out,” Fippinger said at the time. “We are staying here because we think this war is unjust.”
I find it very amusing that these brave souls who state the war is all about oil would choose to be shields at an oil refinery. Cause in a war where we want to steal your oil, the first place we would bomb is the refineries. Yeah. Brave people. Really sticking your neck out there.
I had no idea people were being fined for breaking the UN Sanctions by going to Iraq ante-bellum. Though being fined for violating international sanctions is something I want on my resume. Way cooler than a jaywalking ticket.
