Jason sums this up perfectly:
They’re not anti-war. They’re on the other side.
Thanks to Tim Blair for getting this going. Seriously people…quit apologizing to the terrorists. Go check out all the other links he’s posted from other’s who have joined in the fun of making fun of these idiots. My favorite so far:
How’s the prayer for a Weed Whacker working out?
The fine folks over at Powerline explain what’ s going on with these whack-jobs:
This “apologise for America” movement is a project of the far-left “Fellowship of Reconciliation.” The idea is for “ordinary Americans”–that is to say, kooks and Communist dupes–to take pictures of themselves apologizing to the Iraqi people for liberating them from the Baathists. The “Fellowship” collects these photos and sends them to Iraq, where they will be distributed by media outlets anxious to undermine our efforts there.
Frankly, I find it hard to imagine how Iraqis will react to this scheme. Probably it will confirm their impression that America is a rather weird place. I do think I can predict how our troops will respond, however. I think they’ll share my contempt.
You are not alone in your contempt. Or bewilderment.
I just want to point out that the “other side” comment is generally attributed to Glenn Reynolds, though I’m not sure he originated it, either.
