Rousing, Emotional Start for War Protest

Arrests Made at White House; Storm Might Trim Weekend Turnout

By Steve Vogel and Clarence Williams

Washington Post Staff Writers

Saturday, March 17, 2007; B01

Dozens of demonstrators, many of them Christian peace activists, were arrested outside the White House late last night and early this morning as part of a protest against the war in Iraq.

About 11:30 p.m., police began handcuffing the first of about 100 protesters who had assembled on the White House sidewalk to pray in a planned act of civil disobedience.

The protesters were part of a larger group that had assembled at the Washington National Cathedral for a service on the fourth anniversary of the start of the war. From the service, demonstrators marched through the wind, cold and dampness to the White House.

The demonstration began a weekend of protest that is to include a march on the Pentagon today. Last night's event, which was sponsored by more than two dozen religious groups, was not part of today's antiwar rally at the Pentagon.

People who do things to dishearten our own soldiers in time of war, and to give courage and strength to the enemy, ARE TRAITORS AND SABOTEURS working against America.

They broke the law by stopping on a section of sidewalk in front of the White House, that no one is allowed to stop on, they were warned 3 times before they were arrested. Praying had nothing to do with it. You are allowed to walk on that section of concrete in front of the white house, but are not allowed to stop on it. Those people were justly apprehended.

Yes but they are working for God. Which is more important to you? :emot-handshake:

I agree :emot-hug:

you can support the troops without supporting the war. I don't think this war is a just one, so I do not support the war. But I certaintly hope that our troops are safe over there.

Not every vile deed done by deceived people in God's Name, is 'working for God.'

It is very easy to see if you truly support our troops: DO YOU WANT THEM TO WIN?

If you do, then you support the troops.

If you do not, then you do not support the troops, regardless of any high-sounding oratory you might spout.

So, do you.................?
