Only at an anti Iraq war demo in Palo Alto could a fight break out. The dialogue between a demonstrator, and a couple of bystanders went something like this:
Demonstrator: Thanks for your support sir! All the best to you and your children!
Bystander: I don’t have any children…
Demonstrator (walking away): Son of a bitch!
Second Bystander: Hey, watch your language!
Demonstrator (aggressive): What did you say?
Second Bystander: There was no call for that…
…and before the fight could begin the police stepped in! And you wonder why America has trouble ‘liberating’ Iraq…
